Few points:

 - 2.4.22 is going to be a short release, meaning we will have this
   bug fixed soon in a final release.
 - the bug is around for quite some time now, its not very critical.
 - its -rc stage.

Moreover, -rc5 is already out.

I will work with Jens, Axboe and Andrea to get this properly fixed in .22
in case Andrea patch is not OK.
