ugh, sorry, this is my goof. This is in the 2.1.125 patch:
+ if (steps >= NR_REQUEST)
+ panic("hm??");
it should be '>' instead of '>=' ... sorry! (the fact that it locks up so
rarely shows that the IO request queue is sized properly and the RAID5
daemons queue stuff fast enough too, only very rarely filling up the
request queue ...)
i fully agree that this is not the way we'd like to see this though ...
i have again reviewed that part of the code, and everything else is OK.
