hi, two weeks ago Huajun Li posted a patch for a kernel oops, subject [PATCH] SCSI/sd: Fix NULL dereference in sd_revalidate_disk". The patch was discussed but considered "clearly wrong". The bug shows up for us in kernel 3.1.4 quite often when unplugging usb sticks and it seems a few other people have the same problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/859199 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=754518 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=722350 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=649735 Can anyone of you maybe give me any status update on that bug?
