The upstream bug report has asked whether anyone has tested kernels 2.6.29 or 2.6.30 as this would help narrow down when the bug was (re)introduced to the kernel.

For my own interest, I have noted that the bug generally occurs with newer/faster SSD units. For instance the Intel SSD originally fitted to the early Acer Aspire One is, well, rather slow, but doesn't show the bug (I have one). However another same machine (they were brought as a pair) upgraded with the Super Talent unit does have the problem. Anyone notice any similarity?

Alan Cox has suggested that the SSD is responding to a command so fast that the kernel misses seeing the interrupt.
