RAID5: revert e9e4c377 to fix a livelock
Revert commit e9e4c377(md/raid5: per hash value and exclusive wait_for_stripe) The problem is raid5_get_active_stripe waits on conf->wait_for_stripe[hash]. Assume hash is 0. My test release stripes in this order: - release all stripes with hash 0 - raid5_get_active_stripe still sleeps since active_stripes > max_nr_stripes * 3 / 4 - release all stripes with hash other than 0. active_stripes becomes 0 - raid5_get_active_stripe still sleeps, since nobody wakes up wait_for_stripe[0] The system live locks. The problem is active_stripes isn't a per-hash count. Revert the patch makes the live lock go away.
