ACFS Input/output error on OS kernel 3.10.0-957

Problem:

My ACFS volume has intermittent problems, when I run ls command I get ls: cannot access sm: Input/output error and user/group ownership contains question marks.

[root@primrac1 GG_HOME]# ll
ls: cannot access ma: Input/output error
ls: cannot access sm: Input/output error
ls: cannot access deploy: Input/output error

drwx------ 2 oracle oinstall 65536 Sep 28 21:05 lost+found
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? ma
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? sm

Reason:

Doc ID 2561145.1 mentions that kernel 3.10.0-957 changed behaviour of d_splice_alias interface which is used by ACFS driver.

My kernel is also the same:

[root@primrac1 GG_HOME]# uname -r
3.10.0-957.21.3.el7.x86_64

Solution:

Download and apply patch 29963428 on GI home.
