The remove path contains a hack which depends on internal structures in
other source files, similar to the one which was recently removed from
the registration path. Since commit 1ce9e6055fa0 ("virtio_ring:
introduce packed ring support"), this leads to a crash when vop devices
are removed.
The structure in question is only examined to get the virtual address of
the allocated used page. Store that pointer locally instead to fix the
crash.

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 Restructured Text 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.
