OK, no problem.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are certain sequences of events that
can leave blkback in a deadlocked state. I've tried fixing them, but the
disconnection and error paths should be simplified, now it's too messy
to understand.

Also, make sure your hotplug script writes the "physical-device" node,
or else blkback is not going to attach the disk.

Roger.
