From: Hannes Reinecke <hare@xxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit eb72d0bb84eee5d0dc3044fd17b75e7101dabb57 upstream. 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.
