From da9cf5050a2e3dbc3cf26a8d908482eb4485ed49 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2011 18:25:57 +1100 Subject: md: avoid spinlock problem in blk_throtl_exit blk_throtl_exit assumes that ->queue_lock still exists, so make sure that it does. To do this, we stop redirecting ->queue_lock to conf->device_lock and leave it pointing where it is initialised - __queue_lock. As the blk_plug functions check the ->queue_lock is held, we now take that spin_lock explicitly around the plug functions. We don't need the locking, just the warning removal. This is needed for any kernel with the blk_throtl code, which is which is 2.6.37 and later.
