I've noticed that a set of patches adding additional locking from Lino Sanfilippo solve this issue. [3] Myself and another Ubuntu developer have been able to verify that these patches fix the problem using the testcase provided in the kernel bug. I was wondering what the status of these patches found in [4] are. Will these be merged into mainline eventually? I'm not sure if they needed rework, or if there was any conclusion to that thread. If there is help needed let me know.
