[PATCH 001 of 12] md: Possible fix for unplug problem

From: NeilBrown
Date: Tue Jun 27 2006 - 03:04:08 EST



I have reports of a problem with raid5 which turns out to be because
the raid5 device gets stuck in a 'plugged' state. This shouldn't be
able to happen as 3msec after it gets plugged it should get unplugged.
However it happens none-the-less. This patch fixes the problem and is
a reasonable thing to do, though it might hurt performance slightly in
some cases.

Until I can find the real problem, we should probably have this
workaround in place.
