Once the card has been detected to be removed by the

immediately and without a delay to let a rescan remove the
card device as soon a possible. This will sooner prevent
further I/O requests.

That line should not be removed.  It is not related to your change.
I think it is. Since my patch is trying to make it possible to "prevent I/O as soon as possible..."
No, the value of detect_change does not affect the outcome
if MMC_CAP2_DETECT_ON_ERR is set i.e.:

    if (card && !host->detect_change && !(host->caps & MMC_CAP_NEEDS_POLL)
        && !(host->caps2 & MMC_CAP2_DETECT_ON_ERR))

is always false if (host->caps2 & MMC_CAP2_DETECT_ON_ERR) is true
You are right! But MMC_CAP2_DETECT_ON_ERR is introduced in the second patch, so we should not consider that in this patch I think!?

Clearing the detect_change flag here will prevent the I/O layer from doing further tests to see if the card is removed by using "mmc_detect_card_removed -> _mmc_detect_card_removed" due to the upper if sentence.

I think this flag should only be cleared from the mmc_rescan function.

+    ret = mmc_card_removed(card);
Calling mmc_card_removed() is not needed here since
_mmc_detect_card_removed() does it anyway.

+    if (!ret) {
+        ret = _mmc_detect_card_removed(host);
+        if (ret) {
+            /*
+             * Schedule a detect work as soon as possible to let a
+             * rescan handle the card removal.
+             */
+            cancel_delayed_work(&host->detect);
Why cancel the detect work?
To "prevent I/O as soon as possible...".

The detect work could have been scheduled to be run at several ms later. There is no need to wait for it since we already now that card will be removed when the rescan function will execute.

if (cancel_delayed_work(&host->detect))
	mmc_detect_change(host, 0);
isn't?

Good comment. That will mean that patch 2 will have to be updated as well to something like below.

if (cancel_delayed_work(&host->detect) || (host->caps2 &
    MMC_CAP2_DETECT_ON_ERR))
	mmc_detect_change(host, 0);

What do you think?

Could we skip this entirely and leave it as is without checking the return value of cancel_delayed_work? That will only mean that in some very rare cases (since rescan is clearing the detect_change flag) one additional detect work will be triggered which shall not cause any problems I believe. But I happily change to what you propose if you prefer!


+            mmc_detect_change(host, 0);
+        }
+    }
- return _mmc_detect_card_removed(host);
+    return ret;
 }
 EXPORT_SYMBOL(mmc_detect_card_removed);
