Hi! Find below my fourth regression report for Linux 4.16. It lists 9
regressions I'm currently aware of. 1 was fixed since last weeks report.

To anyone reading this: Are you aware of any other regressions that got
introduced this development cycle? Then please let me know by mail (a
simple bounce or forward to the sender of this email address is enough!).

For details see http://bit.ly/lnxregtrackid And please tell me if there
is anything in the report that shouldn't be there.

Ciao, Thorsten
