CentOS - Jun 2013 - XFS zero length file problem

we're running into a scenario similar to this with CentOS 6, zero length 
files after a system crash.
http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2012-02/msg00607.html

I'm not exactly sure which kernel version they are running in production 
(its in China), but I'm trying to find out.   its probably a year or so 
old, our manufacturing operations folks do NOT like installing random 
updates without very good reasons.

meanwhile, I wonder if anyone familiar with it knows if the fix that 
Dave Chinner discusses in that posting I link above has been backported 
to a recent EL6 kernel.

This was fixed in EL6 kernels a while ago - see:
