Remind me --- commit 0813299c586b is not actually causing any
problems; it's just not fully effective at solving the problem.  Is
that correct?

In other words, is there a rush in trying to get this revert to Linus
during this cycle as a regression fix?

I think the answer is no, and we can just let this full patch series
go in via the vfs branch during the next merge window, but I just
wanted to make sure.

Thanks!
