Yeah.. that's my dilemma. Alex put together branches in ceph-client.git picking out fixes for 3.4 and 3.5. The problem is that the important fixes were extensive patches (restructuring the locking for a whole segment of code), so I'm not sure how palatable they are for the stable kernels. They demonstrably fix the bugs, but they are big. I wanted to get these recent fixes into 3.6 stable before figuring out what to do about the older kernels. Is this something that's my call as the ceph maintainer, or is there a threshold from your end? FWIW I would ask any customer to upgrade to a newer kernel or apply these patches themselves before running in production. BTW most these would be appropriate for 3.5 as well, if there is going be another (final?) 3.5 stable release.
