Hi,
On guest with upstream's kernel(3.3.0-rc7), I
mounted virtblk as:
a) # mkfs /dev/vda
b) # mount /dev/vda /mnt
c) # cd /mnt
Then I did hotplug for virtblk via virsh on host as:
a) # sudo virsh detach-disk guest vda
b) # sudo virsh attach-disk guest /media/data/test.img vda
I encountered guest's kernel panic (*probability *
*event*)whose backtrace liked this:

This panic was triggered by the command of "blkid" in
udev's rule "60-persistent-storage.rules".
So, when the virtblk was reattached, command "blkid"
probed filesystem metadata of disks. At that moment,
virtblk_ioctl() was called, but the data of "virtio_blk"
"bdev->bd_disk->private_data" pointing to may not be
updated for the sync reason.
This patch do this check to avoid panic.
Any comment will be appreciated.
