Re: How to cleanly shut down a block device

[Pierre Ossman <drzeus-list@drzeus.cx>]

How about this patch? It is basically the same as the previous, but it
also sets queuedata to NULL and tests for that. It does not address if
someone still has dependencies on the queue but hasn't gotten itself a
reference (as I haven't gotten any word on if that is a problem):
