Well, that's what the [PATCH] that started this thread,s for which seems
to greatly reduce the incidence.

The issue being discussed here is the fact that it's far from clear to
people that the result of applying that patch is actually bug-free.

Given how long it's been in shipping kernels (2.6.26 or 3.10, depending
on what you think causes it to trigger) and how few complaints there
have been, I'm happy to take a while to think about it.
