Yes, this should be backported to all stable kernel releases that have the Hyper-V drivers In them.  

The symptom of the problem is that in some NAS appliances this problem represents
Itself by a unresponsive VM under a load with many clients writing small files.

I actually goofed up in my previous code and used an incorrect index number
For this part of the code. It should have shown up in more situations than what
I have seen oddly enough.
