Bit of a clarification here.  It didn't get into -stable, but we have the bug
in our 3.0 based SLES11-SP2 through a different route (I assumed it came
through stable but was being too hasty).

The bug first arrived in v3.1-rc1

commit 02c24a82187d5a628c68edfe71ae60dc135cd178
    fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers


was fixed by me in v3.3-rc1

commit 2edb6bc3852c681c0d948245bd55108dc6407604
    NFS - fix recent breakage to NFS error handling.

the code was then messed up a bit by 

commit a5c58892b427a2752e3ec44b0aad4ce9221dc63b
    NFS: Create a v4-specific fsync function
in v3.6-rc1

and that mess was fixed by 

commit 7b281ee026552f10862b617a2a51acf49c829554
    NFS: fsync() must exit with an error if page writeback failed

which re-introduced the original problem in v3.6-rc6.

That first patch has been backported to SLES11 so now I'm fixing the bug
again and finding it in mainline again :-)
