* [PATCH] mm: Removing the card during write operations blocks the I/O process when during the process Issue encountered: When formatting an SD card to ext4 using mkfs.ext4, if the card is ejected during the process, the formatting process blocks at balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited.

Modification approach:
After card ejection,
the dev in the bdi (backing_dev_info) is
released in del_gendisk.
Within generic_perform_write,
if writeback is supported,
it directly checks whether bdi->dev is NULL to determine
if the card has been ejected.
Once ejected, it becomes unnecessary to proceed
with page allocation and data writing.
