The changelog is too verbose. How about:

The bug is we're not able to remove the device from blkio cgroup's
per-device control files if it gets unplugged.

To reproduce the bug:

# mount -t cgroup -o blkio xxx /cgroup
# cd /cgroup
# echo "8:0 1000" > blkio.throttle.read_bps_device
# unplug the device
# cat blkio.throttle.read_bps_device
8:0 1000
# echo "8:0 0" > blkio.throttle.read_bps_device
-bash: echo: write error: No such device

After patching, the device removal will succeed.

unnecessary parentheses.

if (ret && weight != 0)

or

if (ret && !weight)

Normally we align the above lines this way:

if ((weight < BLKIO_WEIGHT_MIN && weight > 0) ||
weight > BLKIO_WEIGHT_MAX)
return -EINVAL;
