Hi Theodore,

as you already know, commit 08439fec266c (ext4: remove
block_device_ejected) caused a regression for (at least) USB attached
storage devices.

You provided a fix for the regression by reverting that commit in
b9e43f49f672 (Revert "ext4: remove block_device_ejected"). This
revert is, currently, on linux-next but broken commit is part of
v4.1-final and, thus, part of v4.1 LTS.

Could you please mark your revert for v4.1+ stable ? If it's not too
late to get it in v4.2-final, that would be great, otherwise we a Cc
stable would suffice anyway.

In summary, commit 08439fec266c needs to be reverted on both v4.1-stable
and v4.2.

Thanks
