Subject: [2.6.22 PATCH 02/26] dm raid1: one kmirrord per mirror
From: Holger Smolinski <smolinski@...ibm.com>
This patch replaces the single instance of kmirrord by one instance per
mirror set. This change is required to avoid a deadlock in kmirrord when
the persistent dirty log of a mirror itself resides on a mirror. The single
instance of kmirrord then issues a sync write to the dirty log in
write_bits which gets deferred to kmirrord itself later in the call chain.
But kmirrord never does the deferred work because it is still waiting for
the sync write_bits.
_mirror_sets is removed as it no longer needed, and we always flush the
workqueue before destroying it to ensure all work is complete before
destroying it.
