From 9744197c3d7b329590c2be33ad7b17409bd798fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2008 11:49:54 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] md: Don't wait UNINTERRUPTIBLE for other resync to finish When two md arrays share some block device (e.g each uses different partitions on the one device), a resync of one array will wait for the resync on the other to finish. This can be a long time and as it currently waits TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, the softlockup code notices and complains. So use TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE instead and make sure to flush signals before calling schedule.
