[patch 22/35] md/raid5: add missing call to schedule() after prepare_to_wait()
From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Jun 30 2009 - 20:43:55 EST
2.6.29-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 7a3ab908948b6296ee7e81d42f7c176361c51975 upstream.
In the unlikely event that reshape progresses past the current request
while it is waiting for a stripe we need to schedule() before retrying
for 2 reasons:
1/ Prevent list corruption from duplicated list_add() calls without
intervening list_del().
2/ Give the reshape code a chance to make some progress to resolve the
conflict.
