I'm seeing a mkfs.ext2 that never completes under 2.6.0-test4-mm5.
I ran 4 mkfs.ext2's concurrntly, each on a seperate partition on the
same disk.  Three of the completed.  Here's the sysrq stack trace from
the one that didn't.

This doesn't occur on mm4.

This is on a system with a DAC960 driver.  But we've seen it here
on a system with scsi disk as well.

Yes, reverting this patch fixes the I/O hang I was observing.
