Well, I'm not a linux coder, but I'll give it a try and report back if I'm successful.

I think it's already been patched. https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/17/546 (navigation on the left of the page)

Looks like a long, 11-part patch set. Would be interesting to hear back from 'bjork' after his try to see if it is still trivial ;)

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/1/25 Sounds like a race condition which is pretty awkward to avoid.
