From 032ebf2620ef99a4fedaa0f77dc2272095ac5863 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Fri, 12 May 2006 18:42:09 -0700 Subject: Alternative fix for MMC oops on unmount after removal Make sure to clear the driverfs_dev pointer when we do del_gendisk() (on disk removal), so that other users that may still have a ref to the disk won't try to use the stale pointer. Also move the KOBJ_REMOVE uevent handler up, so that the uevent still has access to the driverfs_dev data. This all should hopefully fix the problems with MMC umounts after device removals that caused commit 56cf6504fc1c0c221b82cebc16a444b684140fb7 and its reversal (1a2acc9e9214699a99389e323e6686e9e0e2ca67). Original problem reported by Todd Blumer and others.
