Hi ALL, We met an filesystem issue when do stable kernel upgrade from 3.10.31 to 3.10.53. And we found it's caused by the following commit bf0972039 which introduced in 3.10.53. After applying this patch, after system suspend/resume, plug out a SD card will cause the following WARNING if SD card has a filesystem mounted. If revert it, no such WARNING shows. I also tried the latest linux-next tree, it also has such issue. Looks the patch is used to fixing a potential system crashing. We're not sure whether this WARNING is as expected and reasonable or a BUG because there's no such WARNING before this patch. Can someone explain about it? Reproduce step is as follows: root@imx6qdlsolo:~# mmc2: mmc_rescan_try_freq: trying to init card at 400000 Hz mmc2: Problem setting current limit! mmc2: new ultra high speed DDR50 SDHC card at address aaaa mmcblk2: mmc2:aaaa SL32G 29.7 GiB mmcblk2: p1 p2 wm8962 3-001a: Failed to get supply 'DCVDD': -517 wm8962 3-001a: Failed to request supplies: -517 i2c 3-001a: Driver wm8962 requests probe deferral kjournald starting.

After commit 839a8e8660b6 ("writeback: replace custom worker pool implementation with unbound workqueue") when device is removed while we are writing to it we crash in bdi_writeback_workfn() -> set_worker_desc() because bdi->dev is NULL. This can happen because even though bdi_unregister() cancels all pending flushing work, nothing really prevents new ones from being queued from balance_dirty_pages() or other places. Fix the problem by clearing BDI_registered bit in bdi_unregister() and checking it before scheduling of any flushing work.
