Under function mmc_blk_issue_rq, after an MMC discard operation,
the MMC request data structure may be freed in memory. Later in
the same function, the check of req->cmd_flags & MMC_REQ_SPECIAL_MASK
is dangerous and invalid. It causes the MMC host not being released
when it should
This patch fixes the issue by marking the special request down before
the discard/flush operation

It would be better to use boolean?
Either, in a different way, I considered to save the cmd_flags like below.
unsigned int cmd_flags = req ? req->cmd_flags : 0;
Then, we could replace several 'if statement' without dereference.
if (req && req->cmd_flags & REQ_DISCARD) -> if (cmd_flags & REQ_DISCARD)
Just my suggestion.
Thanks,
Seungwon Jeon

Hi Seungwon,
I like your suggestion. It makes the code simpler. I'll make the change
and submit patch v2.
Thanks,
