From 0da3c6194ec2f32617b272df4505a1cf022faea5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2009 18:09:45 +1000 Subject: md: Improve name of threads created by md_register_thread The management thread for raid4,5,6 arrays are all called mdX_raid5, independent of the actual raid level, which is wrong and can be confusion. So change md_register_thread to use the name from the personality unless no alternate name (like 'resync' or 'reshape') is given. This is simpler and more correct.
