Ok, i get that from the patch, but I don't know anything else about
this problem, and nor will anyone else trying to determine if this
is a fix they need to backport to other kernels. Can you add some
more information to the commit message, such as how was this found
and what filesystems it affects? It would also be good to know what
commit introduced this issue and whether it need stable back ports
(i.e. a Fixes tag).

Cheers,

Dave.
