RH support is the better avenue for these questions, FWIW.

But from the comments in the bug:

linux-2.6-fs-xfs-fix-speculative-allocation-beyond-eof.patch

is what went in;

[sandeen@sandeen linux-2.6]$ git log --pretty=3Doneline fs/xfs | grep "spec=
ulative allocation"
9f6c92b9cc2fd41d6c7b493be5637cc5b5659880 [XFS] Fix speculative allocation b=
eyond eof
[sandeen@sandeen linux-2.6]$ git describe --contains 9f6c92b9cc2fd41d6c7b49=
3be5637cc5b5659880
v2.6.30-rc8~5^2~56

so it went into 2.6.30, so should be present in all later kernels.
