Oops, it isn't.

Andrew, your tree seems to still carry original patch by Minchan Kim:

0c983ec0c078ed5d5c219cf97af06364e7a8e19f

I reported on list that it has a deadlock:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.stable/159208

I think it should be reverted and my patch applied - it's in my tree
but if you prefer it in yours instead, please let me know.

Thanks!
