Hi All,
In the user program below, I am trying to open, read, and close raw
devices. The block devices sda-sdi are mapped to raw1-raw9. If a disk is
missing, then after I get a read error I close that devices, remove that
device from the proc file system and go on reading the next device. At
this point, while I try to read from the next device (next disk after
the missing one), kernel calls a BUG!! in bdput() inside
"fs/block_dev.c". If I postpone closing the missing disk (line 75) by
storing the device handler of the missing disk in an integer array, and
closing it after the loop (at line 87) then everying works well. I could
not find an explanation for this phenomenon. Can any one please help me
understand this.....
