And I think it's unrelated to the other parallel case too. I assumed it would go through NFS tree, seeing that it's NFS-specific and has nothing to do with any of the recent VFS changes (oops is triggerable starting from 3.11); I can certainly put it through vfs.git, and there will be changes nearby, but this one should go into -stable as a separate patch.
