See details here: > https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/5/11/975 It looks like that thread is ongoing, with discussion around a generic fix and a related issue with our TLS handling: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/5/12/513 https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/5/12/515 so I'm going to hold off on this until there's some agreement on the right way forward.
