Fix for freeze on SATA hotplug
I had an issue where a failing drive which generated SATA hotplug events caused the whole I/O subsystem to deadlock.
Jack Wang on the gluster-users mailing list identified the problem as a regression, and gave me a patch which has successfully fixed it:

However, I see this patch is not in mainline kernel yet. Has any progress been made towards this, e.g. including it in subsystem maintainer's tree?
Thanks,
Brian.

The issue is now also recorded at

since it exists in Ubuntu kernel 3.2.0-30
