The existing memstick core patch: commit62c59a8786("memstick: Skip allocating card when removing host") sets host->removing in memstick_remove_host(),but still exists a critical time window where memstick_check can run after host->eject is set but before removing is set. In the rtsx_usb_ms driver, the problematic sequence is: rtsx_usb_ms_drv_remove: memstick_check: host->eject = true cancel_work_sync(handle_req) if(!host->removing) ... memstick_alloc_card() memstick_set_rw_addr() memstick_new_req() rtsx_usb_ms_request() if(!host->eject) skip schedule_work wait_for_completion() memstick_remove_host: [blocks indefinitely] host->removing = true flush_workqueue() [block] 1. rtsx_usb_ms_drv_remove sets host->eject = true 2. cancel_work_sync(&host->handle_req) runs 3. memstick_check work may be executed here <-- danger window 4. memstick_remove_host sets removing = 1 During this window (step 3), memstick_check calls memstick_alloc_card, which may indefinitely waiting for mrq_complete completion that will never occur because rtsx_usb_ms_request sees eject=true and skips scheduling work, memstick_set_rw_addr waits forever for completion. This causes a deadlock when memstick_remove_host tries to flush_workqueue, waiting for memstick_check to complete, while memstick_check is blocked waiting for mrq_complete completion. Fix this by setting removing=true at the start of rtsx_usb_ms_drv_remove, before any work cancellation. This ensures memstick_check will see the removing flag immediately and exit early, avoiding the deadlock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
