Thanks for the patch! Just two nits below:

I would move this slightly up to where blk_unregister_region() is called
because these two are just different means to lookup the gendisk (idr or
bdev_map depending of major number used). Also I'd update the comment to
something like:

        /*
         * Remove gendisk pointer from idr so that it cannot be looked up
         * while RCU period before freeing gendisk is running to prevent
         * use-after-free issues. Note that the device number stays
         * "in-use" until we really free the gendisk.
         */

And here I'd just use the same comment as above.

                                                                Honza
