Hello @jan-launchpad-xud and @soeby.

The patches we introduced to fix bug 2003053 unfortunately introduced a regression that was not caught by our tests and the reviews done internally and by upstream. The regression was fixed as soon as we could and we apologize for the inconvenience. We do have extensive quality control processes but unfortunately sometimes issues are discovered after a kernel is released.

The Ubuntu LTS kernels are not necessarily a 1-to-1 match with the upstream LTS releases, we do pick up every patch applied to the upstream stable kernels but we apply other patches to provide extra fixes for our users. The reason we backported a patchset from an upstream -rc release was not unknown or randomly, it was based on a real issue that was affecting our users.

If you could kindly provide more information about the issues that you are currently having with the Ubuntu kernels that were caused by the changes to fix bug 2003053 and bug 2009325 we would be happy to investigate and provide a solution if possible.
