OK, I've cc'd Greg, because I don't think thay should be the process. I deal exclusively with the upstream, so I've no idea whether any prior kernels have this bug, if I didn't tag it for stable, it probably means I didn't think it would be seen in prior kernels. If you've seen it in testing 3.4, then I'd say that's good enough for me. Greg, for SCSI, I'm perfectly happy to have the distro test people submit to stable the patches they find from upstream they need to fix bugs.
