2.6.30-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Mikulas Patocka commit 69885683d22d8c05910fd808c01fdce1322739b4 upstream. The recent commit 7513c2a761d69d2a93f17146b3563527d3618ba0 (dm raid1: add is_remote_recovering hook for clusters) changed do_writes() to update the ms->writes list but forgot to wake up kmirrord to process it. The rule is that when anything is being added on ms->reads, ms->writes or ms->failures and the list was empty before we must call wakeup_mirrord (for immediate processing) or delayed_wake (for delayed processing). Otherwise the bios could sit on the list indefinitely.
