To be clear, 3.11 doesn't have that fix which introduced this bug,
because GregKH explictly rejected that fix as 3.11 was already dead at
that time. So this patch is not applicable to 3.11 (whether 3.11 has
some other bugs is another problem).

See <20131202171958.GA661@...ah.com> and the thread it's in.
