The mtd driver has similar problems than the one that was fixed in commit dc3216b14160 ("super: ensure valid info"). The kill_mtd_super() helper calls shuts the superblock down but leaves the superblock on fs_supers as the devices are still in use but puts the mtd device and cleans out the superblock's s_mtd field. This means another mounter can find the superblock on the list accessing its s_mtd field while it is curently in the process of being freed or already freed. Prevent that from happening by keying superblock by dev_t just as we do in the generic code.

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.
