Hi Mr Stable,

 please apply patch

commit fab363b5ff502d1b39ddcfec04271f5858d9f26e
Author: Shaohua Li <shli@kernel.org>
Date:   Tue Jul 3 15:57:19 2012 +1000

    raid5: delayed stripe fix


to 3.4.y and 3.2.y.

It fixes a deadlock in RAID5 which can cause all IO to hang.
It has been demonstrated to fix a real-life problem (the race is not
theoretical).

Thanks,
NeilBrown
