Subject: [patch 15/24] md/raid5: suspend shouldnt affect read requests.
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2009 13:09:06 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090717201234.071675916@mini.kroah.org> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: md-raid5-suspend-shouldn-t-affect-read-requests.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 984 bytes --]
2.6.30-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
commit a5c308d4d1659b1f4833b863394e3e24cdbdfc6e upstream.
md allows write to regions on an array to be suspended temporarily.
This allows user-space to participate is aspects of reshape.
In particular, data can be copied with not risk of a race.
We should not be blocking read requests though, so don't.
