From d95901433436aeb921eac58bfd8a2aa77f110384 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Mon, 2 Feb 2015 17:08:03 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] md/bitmap: fix a might_sleep() warning. commit 8eb23b9f35aae413140d3fda766a98092c21e9b0 sched: Debug nested sleeps causes false-positive warnings in RAID5 code. This annotation removes them and adds a comment explaining why there is no real problem.
