Subject: [PATCH 003 of 12] md: Delay starting md threads until array is completely setup.
Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2006 17:05:20 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1060627070520.25986@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20060627170010.25835.patches@notabene


When an array is started we start one or two threads (two if
there is a reshape or recovery that needs to be completed).

We currently start these *before* the array is completely set up and
in particular before queue->queuedata is set.  If the thread
actually starts very quickly on another CPU, we can end up
dereferencing queue->queuedata and oops.

This patch also makes sure we don't try to start a recovery if
a reshape is being restarted.
