From 1ca69c4bc4b1ef889861db39f325901eadbf9497 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Thu, 11 Oct 2012 13:37:33 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] md: avoid taking the mutex on some ioctls. Some ioctls don't need to take the mutex and doing so can cause a delay as it is held during super-block update. So move those ioctls out of the mutex and rely on rcu locking to ensure we don't access stale data. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown --- Reading git-format-patch failed
