Subject: [Help]  The kernel crashed after merging the iscsi patch .

First, I'm so sorry because I've forgotten the Email subject.  During these days ,I'm doing more tests.

After merging the patch http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=commit;h=0ccd644ce6a803b4f7ae5b3b4da614b8a51037cc,  the kernel crashed for an oops problem ,when I log out the iscsi session with command line "iscsiadm -m session -r sid -u" , and the call trace will be shown at the last of this text.

The function __scsi_remove_device() will be called when excecuting command line "iscsiadm -m session -r sid -u".After __scsi_remove_device() has been called, e->ops is set NULL by calling the function elevator_exit(). But the e->ops can be used util the sdev release function is called,then we can get an oops.

I have tried to roll back this patch to do some test, the oops problem never occurred again,because e->ops is set NULL when sdev release function is called.The e->ops will not be used after sdev release.

So do you have met such problem or have some thoughts with this problem?   

The call trace of this oops problem as follows:
