Comment 57 for bug 152187

Small update on the mainline front: Bjorn Helgaas rediscovered the issue and came to the same conclusions as I did. The patch I commented on in comment #54 is indeed needed, and a slightly modified version has been accepted to -mm [1], let's hope it'll get into 2.6.26.

Having spent a considerable amount of time trying to get this issue fixed, I'd also appreciate an explanation as to why this has been rejected for 8.04.1.
