I (and others) have enocuntered a pretty nasty raid bug that crashes the 
machine running current 4.1.x stable. It seems a commit is available but 
not yet in 4.1.6.

(commit 49895bcc7e566ba455eb2996607d6fbd3447ce16)

Seems like it is in 4.2 tho.

Not sure it's worth patching 4.1.6 with this if 4.2 is imminent - but it 
may be - it kills the machine and has caused some file lossage.

Bugzilla:

    Upstream: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103711
    Arch    : https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/46188

Tobias - what do you suggest best way to proceed - skip as 4.2 is out or 
patch 4.1.6?

Thanks
