can it be thisi (raid1.c):

static void unplug_slaves(mddev_t *mddev)
{
        conf_t *conf = mddev_to_conf(mddev);
        int i;
        unsigned long flags;

        spin_lock_irqsave(&conf->device_lock, flags);
        for (i=0; i<mddev->raid_disks; i++) {
                mdk_rdev_t *rdev = conf->mirrors[i].rdev;
                if (rdev && !rdev->faulty) {
                        request_queue_t *r_queue = bdev_get_queue(rdev->bdev);

                        if (r_queue->unplug_fn)
                                r_queue->unplug_fn(r_queue);
                }
        }
        spin_unlock_irqrestore(&conf->device_lock, flags);
}
