[PATCH] md: Improve locking around error handling
The error handling routines don't use proper locking, and so two concurrent errors could trigger a problem. So: - use test-and-set and test-and-clear to synchonise the In_sync bits with the ->degraded count - use the spinlock to protect updates to the degraded count (could use an atomic_t but that would be a bigger change in code, and isn't really justified) - remove un-necessary locking in raid5 Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
