Hi Keith and All,

We have the newer Linux distro releases came out recently, so I got more 
reports for this issue.

Test teams have verified the patch in several distro kernel 
version(v4.14, v4.15).


If you have any question about the V3 patch I submitted two weeks, Let 
me know.

Thanks,
Wendy
