I've actually hit the same think with NFS on vanilla 2.6.39.4. There
was no stacked fs on top as this host is only running Jenkins master
instance where few jar are on NFS homedir mounted by autofs.

As there's no way I could actually wait for Al patches what is then
the best way to limit this issue (BTW: I was not able to reproduce
this anywhere yet)? The gentle msg info and -EIO sound like good idea
until we will be suck up by black hole.
