    [PATCH] md: possible fix for unplug problem · f4370781
    NeilBrown authored
    I have reports of a problem with raid5 which turns out to be because the raid5
    device gets stuck in a 'plugged' state.  This shouldn't be able to happen as
    3msec after it gets plugged it should get unplugged.  However it happens
    none-the-less.  This patch fixes the problem and is a reasonable thing to do,
    though it might hurt performance slightly in some cases.
    
    Until I can find the real problem, we should probably have this workaround in
    place.
