The analogous problem is also still affecting at least linux-3.18.y.
Is there some problem with reverting this patch in the stable
branches ?
Sasha has mentioned he queued up the follow up fix. I am not sure who is
the 3.18 maintainer but he should do the same.
I am slightly worried that Sasha's email is bouncing for several days
and I am not sure who is his backup. For the time being I would just
suggest doing a local revert or apply Steven's patch from
http://www.spinics.net/lists/stable/msg138760.html
i patched it it locally and it resolved the issue in 3.18
