Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2009 10:12:49 +1100 Message-ID: <18868.20721.541359.900702@notabene.brown> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Sender: linux-raid-owner@vger.kernel.org To: Linus Torvalds Cc: stable@kernel.org, linux-raid@vger.kernel.org, Dan Williams List-Id: linux-raid.ids 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: " to make sure stable eventually gets it. Thanks, NeilBrown The following changes since commit fec6c6fec3e20637bee5d276fb61dd8b49a3f9cc: Linus Torvalds (1): Linux 2.6.29-rc7 are available in the git repository at: git://neil.brown.name/md for-linus Dan Williams (1): md: fix deadlock when stopping arrays drivers/md/md.c | 30 ++++++++++++++++++------------ 1 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-)
