From dc4adbf41385486b0c73e7382ce73f0e8b873243 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Haverkamp Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2006 09:44:26 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [SCSI] aacraid: Re-start helper thread if it dies Received from Mark Salyzyn Since the helper thread for the driver can be killed unceremoniously by an application, we detect the loss of the helper and restart it.
