No. According to the author, Linus Torvalds was the only person who've noticed the problem in the final merge and applied a fix manually before merging it to the mainline. However, the stable kernel trees picked up the old patch, and the broken version was merged to all stable trees silently. The author blames Greg K.H. for fxxking it up.
