I was looking at this bug which my machines are currently experiencing:

The proposed patch is literally one new line in the XFS codebase. So since the patch is so straightforward, I had a crazy idea that I would build my own kernel with this patch, and test it out to see if it worked. (It's been many years since I built my own kernel, so that would be an adventure in and of itself.)
Looks like this problem will be fix in kernel-2.6.32-358.5.1.el6 - see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=921958
