Do you happen to know if this patch will be submitted to linux-stable?
People affected by this bug are probably wondering why the kernel team doesn't
just apply the patch and fix it. The reason is that the kernel team is
reluctant (not opposed) to apply any patch to a stable kernel that is not from
upstream. Applying patches that don't come from upstream add greatly to the
support of the kernel as other upstream patches may touch the same area as the
non-upstream patch and may prevent them from applying cleanly.
