The patch noted to resolve the Debian bug report indeed was included in the v3.0.5 upstream stable kernel. We have subsequently queued the v3.0.5 and v3.0.6 stable patches for Oneiric and I can confirm the specific patch in question has been applied to our Oneiric git repo:
~/ubuntu-oneiric$ git show 0a23710c671e2a8a27ac5dbf690349647e698333 commit 0a23710c671e2a8a27ac5dbf690349647e698333 Author: Hannes Reinecke <[email protected]> Date: Wed Sep 28 08:07:01 2011 -0600 block: Free queue resources at blk_release_queue() However, due to the fact that we are in Final Freeze, the v3.0.5 and v3.0.6 stable patches have been queued for the first Oneiric SRU release. In the mean time, I'll try and get a test kernel available for people to try.
