It looks like this patch applied against 2.6.28.2 resolves the issue for us -- our spinner has been running for two days now without a panic. We've been testing this by spinning around an installer which creates file systems across two disks and then installs a base Linux system and some additional software. Previously we were running into these panics towards the end of file-system creation.

Thanks very much for testing.

Will this patch be part of the next upstream kernel release?

Yes, and it should go into the next stable kernel too.
