Hi again,

Please test the attached patch against a 3.2.y or 3.0.y kernel.
Example instructions:
0. prerequisites.
apt-get install git build-essential
1. get the kernel history if you don't already have it.
git clone \
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
2. fetch point releases.
cd linux
git remote add stable \
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git
git fetch stable
3. configure, build, and test.
git checkout stable/linux-3.0.y
cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config; # current configuration
make localmodconfig; # optional: minimize configuration
make deb-pkg; # optionally with -j<num> for parallel build
dpkg -i ../<name of package>.deb; # as root
reboot
... test test test ...
4. hopefully it reproduces the bug. So try the patch:
cd linux
git cherry-pick -x -s 9bc3711cbb67
make deb-pkg; # maybe with -j4
dpkg -i ../<name of package>.deb; # as root
reboot
An alternative set of instructions is at [1].
If the patch seems to work, we can try applying it to sid and letting
Greg know so the fix gets included in upstream stable kernels, too.
Hope that helps,
Jonathan
