I have also noticed some failures when writing to an eMMC device on one
of our Tegra boards. We have a simple eMMC write/read test and it is
currently failing because the data written does not match the source.

I did not seem the same crash as reported here, however, in our case the
rootfs is NFS mounted and so probably would not. However, the bisect
points to this commit and reverting on top of -next fixes the issues.

Cheers
