Well, since you've not got that patch in your existing kernel, then
there are really two issues here. Firstly to try and verify that this
patch really is a fix for the problem, and then to figure out what needs
to be done wrt Ubuntu distro kernels. One solution may be to post it for
the upstream -stable kernel as I think most distros will then pick this
up.

Are you able to build a new Ubuntu kernel with that patch in it? That
would be one way to test it. Another way which doesn't require building
kernels is this:

The problem occurs when the resource groups are not uptodate, and
various actions taken on the filesystem will ensure that they are
uptodate. Mounting a filesystem and immediately running an unlink of a
file which is known to exist on the filesystem (before performing any
other action) should trigger that bug if it is present.

It may not be that particular bug, but that looks the most likely of any
recent patch to that bit of code. Are you able to try a more recent
Ubuntu kernel? If you could try one based on a more recent upstream
which has that patch in it, then that might also help narrow down the
problem,

Steve.
