The patch below does not apply to the 4.9-stable tree. If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit id to stable@vger.kernel.org.

Attaching backport. Should also apply cleanly to v3.18..v4.9

Thanks, Miklos
