Probably. Would you like to do that?

The patch was only added to my tree today. I will send to Linus tomorrow so
it should appear in the next -rc.
Any -stable kernel released since mid-April probably has the bug. It was
caused by
commit 47d68979cc968535cb87f3e5f2e6a3533ea48fbd
Once the fix gets into Linus' tree, it should get into subsequent -stable releases.
The fix is here:
http://git.neil.brown.name/?p=md.git;a=commitdiff;h=a81157768a00e8cf8a7b43b5ea5cac931262374f
commit id should remain unchanged.
Thanks,
NeilBrown
