Description

This kernel-linus update is based on the upstream 4.14.131 and fixes various

It also adds block level fixes for a potential silent data corruption when
using O_DIRECT.

It also fixes a regression in the network tcp stack caused by the security
fixes added in the MGASA-2019-0195 update, causing applications like steam
to stop working.
