Hi Jorno,
Assuming the fix was in 2.6.24.5, the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 kernel
should already have this fix incorporated. I'll go ahead and open the
Hardy nomination for it to be backported. Also including the git commit
it which I believe is the patch they are referencing from 2.6.24.5.
Thanks.

md: close a livelock window in handle_parity_checks5
If a failure is detected after a parity check operation has been initiated,
but before it completes handle_parity_checks5 will never quiesce operations
on
the stripe.
Explicitly handle this case by "canceling" the parity check, i.e. clear the
STRIPE_OP_CHECK flags and queue the stripe on the handle list again to
refresh
any non-uptodate blocks.
Kernel versions >= 2.6.23 are susceptible.
