Andrea, what's the point of making blkdev_get() bump ->bd_count in case of success and blkdev_put() - drop it? We _do_ grab a reference before calling blkdev_get() - any place where we don't is an immediately oopsable hole both in the old an in the new tree. Notice that you do down(&bdev->bd_sem) before that increment of refcount, so if caller doesn't hold a reference we are toast. What's going on there?
