I agree that it should eventually hit -stable, but it is not an urgent
issue and should not be applied prematurely. Please wait for this patch
to have at least a few weeks of exposure in Linus' tree. Also note that
it is not userspace memory corruption so much as an application not waiting
for I/O to complete as they're supposed to (the app is doing something
really stupid).
