Ben, Greg,
Can you pull this[1] patch into your stable kernels (3.2, 3.4)? It
fixes an unfortunate bug in fanotify where a multithreaded application
can end up in an interruptible state, a situation which only a reboot
can fix. Ultimately, I'm hoping that the fix ends up in Ubuntu's
kernels (for which I have also created a request[2]).
Thank you,

Queued up for 3.2, thanks.
