Ignoring the STAGING issue I've tried to use the same guideline as for -stable for -rc .. So this is a real problem, we definitely hit the locking bugs if we retry/etc under stress, so I would be OK to send it to Linus for early-rc. However, it doesn't look like the 1st patch is fixing a current bug though, the only callers uses blocking = true, so just the middle three are -rc? Thanks, Jason
