The bug originally described a problem on reiserfs, which I believe is fixed. A second problem was found on jfs, which probably should have resulted in a new bug being opened. The jfs patch is not in mainline yet. There are 3 jfs bug fixes ready for mainline in: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shaggy/jfs-2.6.git for-linus
Alternately, you could pull just 29a424f28390752a4ca2349633aaacc6be494db5 from that tree. (Can you do this without a tag?) It is the first unmerged patch in the tree.
