Linus,
I'm going to withdraw the revert request for now. Our proposed
paper-over solution is too big, and we're just going to focus on the
actual fix. This will be for .35. Yes, .35-rc will have a BUG_ON with
refcount trees until we get the fix in, but I'd rather avoid the churn
when the final .35 should have Dave's patch and our fix.

Linus,
I'm going to withdraw the revert request for now. Our proposed
paper-over solution is too big, and we're just going to focus on the
actual fix. This will be for .35. Yes, .35-rc will have a BUG_ON with
refcount trees until we get the fix in, but I'd rather avoid the churn
when the final .35 should have Dave's patch and our fix.
