Hi, I just noticed that commit 073db4a51ee4 (mtd: fix: avoid race condition when accessing mtd->usecount) caused a regression at least when removing m25p80. Wonder if you guys would know of a quick fix, other than reverting $commit in HEAD (yes, that makes the problem go away, but regresses on what $commit tried to fix, of course).
More info about the regression follows, together with bisection log: # modprobe -r m25p80 [ 53.419251] [ 53.420838] ====================================================== [ 53.427300] [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] [ 53.433865] 4.3.0-rc6 #96 Not tainted [ 53.437686] ------------------------------------------------------- [ 53.444220] modprobe/372 is trying to acquire lock: [ 53.449320] (&new->lock){+.+...}, at: [<c043fe4c>] del_mtd_blktrans_dev+0x80/0xdc [ 53.457271] [ 53.457271] but task is already holding lock: [ 53.463372] (mtd_table_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<c0439994>] del_mtd_device+0x18/0x100 [ 53.471321] [ 53.471321] which lock already depends on the new lock.
