Hi Linus,
 I think this is probably suitable for 2.6.27 as it fixes a
 regression.
 The change to softlockup in 2.6.25 to report on processes that seem
 to get stuck in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE waits causes a warning when an
 md array wants to resync but has to wait for some other array one the
 same devices to finish its resync.

 This patch converts the wait to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE to avoid the
 warning.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
