Your commit header should probably reference commit
a8c32a5c98943d370ea606a2e7dc04717eb92206 ("dm: fix deadlock with request
based dm and queue request_fn recursion") and cc: stable with "v3.7+"
guidance.

Hello Mike,
Thanks for reviewing this patch and for the ack. Regarding the stable
tag: had you noticed that commit a8c32a5 had a "Cc: stable" tag itself
and hence probably has already been backported to kernels older than v3.7 ?
Bart.
