Most distributions (Fedora, Debian, openSUSE) revert this patch.
Quoting an email from Jeff below

An FYI, this patch:
commit c5a0802a682dba23f92d47f0f99775aebfbe2539

Handle EAGAIN from FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI
Has been reported as causing numerous problems in Fedora & Debian. I
don't think anyone has done any serious analysis of the issue, but the
patch has been pulled from both distributions because of the
instability it's introduced.

It might be worth your time to dig further into the change or pull it
from 2.15 pending a deeper investigation.
