I am running Fedora 16 x86_64 and testing vanilla kernel 3.2-rc5. I
wanted to test the slabinfo program, so I wrote a small shell script
slabinfo-forever.sh (attached) that invokes slabinfo -v every 3 seconds.
Just by doing this, I was able to trigger several memory validation
warnings, attached in this message. The reason I wanted to test slabinfo
is because back when I was running Fedora 14, I had some video issues
that seemed consistent with memory corruption. I tried to submit a
kernel bug at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42312 just
before the kernel.org hack issue, but bugzilla.kernel.org never came up
after that.
Problem is known and fixes were submitted.
Still happening in 3.2-rc6. The dmesg output is attached.

What are the git commits of the fixes? Are they scheduled to go into 3.2 
stable?
Fixes were submitted but not yet accepted in mainline.
