This is a great illustration of how bugs get fixed in open source.

What I find disappointing is that Lukáš Krejčí wasn't credited at all in the commit message. He did great work finding a setup that allowed the developer to reproduce and identify the issue. QA people need more recognition.

(To be fair, there is at least a Tested-by but not Lukáš)

I totally agree, and I'll take the blame for that. For what it's worth, he's credited in the fio reproducer I made based on his setup description.

This is a great point. A lot of us were racing pretty hard to find a good repro, but I really don't think I would have nailed the recipe myself.

We can't change git history, but we'll work out a way to send him something.
