Russell's patches do not address this.

Individual PCMCIA drivers need to be updated to call
thier release function directly when processing a
CARD_RELEASE message instead of from a timer procedure.

Similar to this patch for synclink_cs.c:

diff -u -4 -r4.9 synclink_cs.c
--- synclink_cs.c 2003/05/08 19:26:53 4.9

case CS_EVENT_CARD_REMOVAL:
link->state &= ~DEV_PRESENT;
if (link->state & DEV_CONFIG) {
((MGSLPC_INFO *)link->priv)->stop = 1;
- mod_timer(&link->release, jiffies + HZ/20);
+ mgslpc_release((u_long)link);
}
break;
case CS_EVENT_CARD_INSERTION:
link->state |= DEV_PRESENT | DEV_CONFIG_PENDING;
The timer link->release is initialized with the release
function (in this case mgslpc_release, but called something
else in your driver). Now it is called directly.
