Commit 409f3499a2cfcd1e9c2857c53af7fcce069f027f (scsi/sd: remove big kernel lock) introduced a bug in the sd_release routine. Medium removal should be allowed when the number of open file references drops to 0, not when it becomes non-zero. This patch (as1414) adjusts the test to fix the bug. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- This patch needs to get into 2.6.36. 2.6.35 and earlier don't contain the buggy commit.
