Bug Description

After updating kernel to 3.13.0-92 system cannot startup with these errors:
Failed to get file info size
Failed to alloc highmem for files

I've found patch fixing it here — http://kernel.opensuse.org/cgit/kernel/commit/?h=v3.15.9&id=396f1a08db212138418b38f784e4bbe516d2fdb2

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the 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 be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
