There was a first attempt to mimic the behavior of NVMe/SCSI devices removed while holding a mounted filesystem: <email address hidden>/T/#u

It was quite complex, relying on force an unmount operation in this filesystem, stop writeback threads and remove the md block device. It got not many reviews, and most of them not favorable for it, hence we proposed a more simpler approach, hereby SRUEd.

The RFC cover-letter aforementioned details the issue to a large extent, so it may be interesting read for the interested parties in this issue.

Thanks,
