This can never be guaranteed by a device and by pci spec given it is surprise removal by definition.
For Linux virtio blk is not the only block device which has surprised removal.
Nvme blk driver has supported surprise removal for several years now.
I am sure nbd and others would have too given its network.
I am not familiar with the blk driver stack.
So please explore with blk community of how to complete an aborted/never completed io which never completed by the device.
Since the blk driver knows exactly that the device is removed, it can 100% complete the io to upper layer with the error in deterministic way.
