Ah... you had already answer that, sorry.
There have been no changes in md since then which could affect your problem,
so if it in an md problem it is still there.
If this is easily reproducible (which I think you suggested it is), I would
put a printk in raid5_end_read_request where it sets "retry = 1" to report
"trying to fix a failed read".
If you then get a hang but don't get that message, it is a device driver
problem. If you do get that message it is probably an md/raid5 problem.
