Subject: [PULL-REQUEST] md: remove a potential deadlock.
Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2009 10:12:49 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <18868.20721.541359.900702@notabene.brown> (raw)
Hi Linus / stable.
The following fixes a potential deadlock in md. The possibility has
been around for a while, but only more recently has userspace code
been acting in a way that is likely to trigger it.
It is tagged "Cc: <stable@kernel.org>" to make sure stable eventually
gets it.
Thanks,
NeilBrown
