https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25832 --- Comment #53 from Theodore Tso <tytso@xxxxxxx> 2011-04-01 15:09:03 --- Folks who are experiencing this problem might want to try 2.6.38.2. There was a fix that was committed to mainline and backported to the stable kernels that may fix this problem: commit 95f28604a65b1c40b6c6cd95e58439cd7ded3add Author: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Mar 17 11:13:12 2011 +0100 fs: assign sb->s_bdi to default_backing_dev_info if the bdi is going away We don't have proper reference counting for this yet, so we run into cases where the device is pulled and we OOPS on flushing the fs data. This happens even though the dirty inodes have already been migrated to the default_backing_dev_info.
