Hi Greg, Please include patch below in 4.4 stable kernel, it fixes panic. It can be apply cleanly to 4.4.52 commit eb72d0bb84eee5d0dc3044fd17b75e7101dabb57 Author: Hannes Reinecke <hare@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue Apr 26 08:06:58 2016 +0200 sd: get disk reference in sd_check_events() sd_check_events() is called asynchronously, and might race with device removal. So always take a disk reference when processing the event to avoid the device being removed while the event is processed. Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare@xxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Ewan D.
