The existing memstick core patch: commit 62c59a8786e6 ("memstick: Skip
allocating card when removing host") sets host-&gt;removing in
memstick_remove_host(),but still exists a critical time window where
memstick_check can run after host-&gt;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-&gt;eject = true
  cancel_work_sync(handle_req)     if(!host-&gt;removing)
  ...                              memstick_alloc_card()
                                     memstick_set_rw_addr()
                                       memstick_new_req()
                                         rtsx_usb_ms_request()
                                           if(!host-&gt;eject)
                                           skip schedule_work
                                       wait_for_completion()
  memstick_remove_host:                [blocks indefinitely]
    host-&gt;removing = true
    flush_workqueue()
    [block]

1. rtsx_usb_ms_drv_remove sets host-&gt;eject = true
2. cancel_work_sync(&amp;host-&gt;handle_req) runs
3. memstick_check work may be executed here &lt;-- 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.

<title>memstick: core: Zero initialize id_reg in h_memstick_read_dev_id()</title>

<id>21b34a3a204ed616373a12ec17dc127ebe51eab3</id>

A new warning in clang [1] points out that id_reg is uninitialized then
passed to memstick_init_req() as a const pointer:

  drivers/memstick/core/memstick.c:330:59: error: variable 'id_reg' is uninitialized when passed as a const pointer argument here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized-const-pointer]
    330 |                 memstick_init_req(&amp;card-&gt;current_mrq, MS_TPC_READ_REG, &amp;id_reg,
        |                                                                         ^~~~~~

Commit de182cc8e882 ("drivers/memstick/core/memstick.c: avoid -Wnonnull
warning") intentionally passed this variable uninitialized to avoid an
-Wnonnull warning from a NULL value that was previously there because
id_reg is never read from the call to memstick_init_req() in
h_memstick_read_dev_id(). Just zero initialize id_reg to avoid the
warning, which is likely happening in the majority of builds using
modern compilers that support '-ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero'.

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree

Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary.

Use the correct kernel-doc format for function parameters (':'
instead of '-') to eliminate kernel-doc warnings.
Add some "Returns:" notations to functions.

Use the correct kernel-doc format for function parameters (':'
instead of '-') to eliminate kernel-doc warnings.
Add some "Returns:" notations to functions.

<title>block: remove BLK_MQ_F_SHOULD_MERGE</title>

BLK_MQ_F_SHOULD_MERGE is set for all tag_sets except those that purely
process passthrough commands (bsg-lib, ufs tmf, various nvme admin
queues) and thus don't even check the flag.  Remove it to simplify the
driver interface.

<title>memstick: Constify struct memstick_device_id</title>

'struct memstick_device_id' are not modified in these drivers.

Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section, so
increases overall security.

Update memstick_dev_match(), memstick_bus_match() and struct
memstick_driver accordingly.

On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example:
Before:
======
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  74055	   3455	     88	  77598	  12f1e	drivers/memstick/core/ms_block.o

After:
=====
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  74087	   3423	     88	  77598	  12f1e	drivers/memstick/core/ms_block.o
