Hi Ben,

Thank you for the confirmation! We'll move ahead with 3.0.23, then

Best,

OK, Linux 3.2.9 doesn't sound very safe to use in production. So, fine,
we can try 3.0.23; it appears that a fix for CVE-2012-0056 was applied
around 3.0.19 so it should be all set in that regard.

I'm comparing the contents of the xfs-bulletproof-sync patch with the
3.0.23 XFS sources and it's not entirely clear to me if 3.0.23 fully
implements the fixes in the patch. Please forgive me because it's a
little long, but here's the contents of the patch:

Looks like this fix made 3.0.16:

# git describe 6826d3e80d143ca7411fd2dca05bc57c7ed3e620
v3.0.15-68-g6826d3e
