From what I can gather, it is, having been introduced in 3.10-rc1. The
faulty code is still in 3.18 and the fix found here
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=23c8a812dc3c621009e4f0e5342aa4e2ede1ceaa
applies nicely to 3.18.43.
Dunno why it hasn't been backported though.
