Patchset posted http://lkml.kernel.org/g/1443563240-29306-1-git-send-email...@kernel.org Unfortunately, the required changes on percpu_ref side ended up somewhat invasive and don't seem fit for -stable backport. I think it'd be a good idea to apply Akinobu's patch for now and then revert it later when the percpu_ref changes hit mainline.
