If you give me some debug patch I can provide you with dozens of inserts and reinserts of the card and corresponding output (the normal scenario). Unfortunately not the Oops case, that will not be synced to disk and my remote ttyUSB0 works only partially, only few lines I ever managed to record. But still you could compare the stacktrace with the correct path? It seems to me Oops happens when I just pull out the card out of the slot. Maybe the expected way would be to push the card into the slot to release some lock and it would be pulled out by itself. I fear this is the intended way to unplug a card. I played with that a bit now it seems if I just pull out the card, the mechanical lock still stays in "inserted" position. Next insertion of the card will fail (insert+slip out). So, every second insertion attempt will succeed and my card will really be held in. I think I see in logs that output slightly differs on every second ... re-insert of the card. Although the card presence detection does not work if catches up on card insertion (some mechanical lock flips). I think removal of the by card pushing it in at least ensures the lock is flipped as well. Just my impression why something differs on every second insertion of the card. I just retested with 3.4-rc6 and this Oops still happens. If I did did not screw it up it happens even when I carefully always push in the card to get it popped out (the maybe intended and only allowed card removal?). So the above "every second" scenario does not really help.
