This commit stirred my memory up about panicking when hot-unplugging an USB key while it is still mounted. I have not been able to track HEAD source changes attentively for some time recently but it appears from the above description that this awkard behaviour has been replaced by a smarter one (IOW, return ENXIO on all pending filesystem actions). Thanks in advance for explanations.
