A word of warning if you are running a software RAID array - this bug can freeze for long enough that the RAID system think the drive has died and drops the drive. The kernel will do a soft-reset and the drive will be alive again but it is no longer part of the array.
If you don't notice the problem then your RAID array will die the next time the error occurs. In my case I got another error while rebuilding the array! Fortunately this time the kernel recovered before the RAID system noticed. Moderators - please consider upgrading the importance of this bug. For people without software RAID the problem is an annoyance. For people with software RAID the problem is critical.
