  Wow, finally! Committed just 3 months ago. Might be able to finally rely on it in Linux distros a few years from now! https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/b53b0b9d9a613c418057f6cb921c2f40a6f78c24 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/b53b0b9d9a613c41805...

    It's in kernel v5.3, which is expected in September, so it might be in Ubuntu Eoan Ermine 19.10. (After all 5.0 got released in March and Ubuntu 19.04 ships with 5.0.)

      Yeah, that's when you'll just start seeing the new kernel in the wild. Not when you'll stop seeing older kernels in the wild.
