[PATCH] md: delay starting md threads until array is completely setup
When an array is started we start one or two threads (two if there is a reshape or recovery that needs to be completed). We currently start these *before* the array is completely set up and in particular before queue->queuedata is set. If the thread actually starts very quickly on another CPU, we can end up dereferencing queue->queuedata and oops. This patch also makes sure we don't try to start a recovery if a reshape is being restarted. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
