Subject: [PATCH 2.6] md debug fixes
Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2004 15:59:13 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <401039A1.D82E8B8D@SteelEye.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 534 bytes --]

Hi Neil,

While running md with debug turned on, I noticed a couple of things that
could maybe use changing. 

The first change simply makes one of the debug messages a little more
useful (printing a thread's name rather than just a hex pointer value). 

The second fix is necessary to avoid an oops when md_error is called.
Because md_error is generally called when a device has failed, the
chance of the rdev parameter being NULL is fairly high. I hit this oops
several times in testing.

Patch attached, please apply.

Thanks,
Paul
