Eric, since you have a relatively controllable reproduction case, have
you tried reproducing Alexey's bisection results?  Specifically he
seemed to find that commit fe188c0e shows no problem, and commit
91ac6f43 is the first commit with problems?

I can try it but I have very little faith in that result to be honest.

Having to do multiple iterations will make doing a bisection a major
pain, but maybe we'll get something out of that.

Well I've been doing bisects but I'm getting skeptical of the results; either my testcase isn't reliable enough or all the merges are confusing git-bisect (?) Anyway it keeps ending up on nonsensical commits.

Other things that might be worth doing given that you have a test case
would be to try reverting commit 91ac6f43, and see if that helps, and
to try this patch: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=23468

Or have you tried some of these experiments already?

After talking to Aneesh last night, I think other good spot-checks will be to revert 487caeef9fc08c0565e082c40a8aaf58dad92bbb, and to test Jan's sync patches.
