results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-
trusty' to 'verification-done-trusty'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will

  This is a bug in a linux kernel driver, I'm basing off ubuntu trusty
  tree:

  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-trusty.git;a=summary

  We need an unpstream commit from the NVMe driver to prevent a kernel
  crash. It's this one here:

  https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/block
  /nvme-core.c?id=fb35e914b3f88cda9ee6f9d776910c35269c4ecf

  I really should have marked that commit for stable, but I'm requesting
  it get applied back anyway since there are people hitting this bug in
  the field and hoping this can be add in the next kernel update.
