No problem was caused. The kernel.org bug was closed because one of the
reporters was unable to reproduce the issue after upgrading the kernel.
Unfortunately no particular patch was identified that specifically
addresses the problem. 

The bug in our system is still open because we still see the issue in
our test environment. We will keep digging.
