Is it necessary to apply the patch in the kernel 3.16.0-37-generic? Because I have checked in the kernel source[1] and they looks like the same behavior added by your patch.
The referenced upstream code looks good as it has the changes [1]. Thought you might need to check with the actual sources of 3.16.0-37-generic, because this does not look like a vanilla kernel.
