The situation that I had described is analogous to what I have faced. I am trying to test the linux power management framework (for hibernation) on a ARM based custom SoC which has a usb host controller. I attach an external usb mass-storage device(hard disk), mount it (/dev/sda) and then hibernate the system. On resuming I see that the usb device gets detached, the controller re probes for the device, and the device gets re-attached as /dev/sdb. I see that in this situation too the scsi_disk_release do not get called because of the reference count. So I was wondering if it is expected behaviour of kernel or not.
