I mean, in 2.4.14 we had the file loopback problem (_alot_ of people use that module, its great for building iso images and stuff)  and then we have the inode.c bug (which may or may not exist and the fix may or may not actually fix it) then it seems bugs in other sections of the kernel. Whats going on Linus? Stable kernel releases were never this bad before.
