I've complained about an unrelated issue in that part of the code
a while back (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/12/508) which PeterZ
ended up fixing (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/21/428) but it seems
that both of us forgot to follow up on that and the fix never got
upstream.

Ever since this patch made it upstream, Peter's patch which I was
carrying in my tree stopped applying and I've started seeing:
