Well, it looks like pata_legacy is doing some different things than other drivers, in that it needs to attach to potential host addresses to tell if there is a controller/device there and if it turns out not to be, needs to detach the host entry it just created. This detach is what's triggering the problem. It looks like somehow error handling completes without setting the UNLOADED flag. I suspect the bug is not actually in pata_legacy though. > > (I just saw James Bottomley's "[PATCH] async: make sure independent async > domains can't accidentally entangle".
