Thanks. This is definitely a step in the right direction. However I think it still needs a bit of work. The old md_unregister_thread sent a signal to the thread so that if it was in 'wait_event_interruptible_timeout', that call would complete. However I cannot see how the new md_unregister_thread will interrupt the wait_event_interruptible_timeout. I'll look into it..
