3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: NeilBrown <ne...@suse.de>
commit ee0b0244030434cdda26777bfb98962447e080cd upstream.
When raid1/raid10 needs to fix a read error, it first drains
all pending requests by calling freeze_array().
This calls flush_pending_writes() if it needs to sleep,
but some writes may be pending in a per-process plug rather
than in the per-array request queue.
When raid1{,0}_unplug() moves the request from the per-process
plug to the per-array request queue (from which
flush_pending_writes() can flush them), it needs to wake up
freeze_array(), or freeze_array() will never flush them and so
it will block forever.
So add the requires wake_up() calls.
This bug was introduced by commit
f54a9d0e59c4bea3db733921ca9147612a6f292c
for raid1 and a similar commit for RAID10, and so has been present
since linux-3.6. As the bug causes a deadlock I believe this fix is
suitable for -stable.
