[PATCH 002 of 2] md: Reduce CPU wastage on idle md array with a write-intent bitmap. fix

From: NeilBrown
Date: Fri Mar 07 2008 - 00:02:09 EST



Recent patch titled
Reduce CPU wastage on idle md array with a write-intent bitmap.

would sometimes leave the array with dirty bitmap bits that stay
dirty. A subsequent write would sort things out so it isn't a big
problem, but should be fixed nonetheless.

We need to make sure that when the bitmap becomes not "allclean", the
daemon_sleep really does get set to a sensible value.
