What were the user-visible effects of the bug which you just fixed?

Please always include this info when sending a bugfix!  Because without
that info it's much harder to work out whether we should backport the
fix into earlier kernels and it's harder for end-users and distro
maintainers to work out if the patch will fix particular behaviour
which they or their customers are seeing.
