Subject: A problem with gendisk_head ?

Hi,
Is the list of disks, starting from "gendisk_head", used anymore after
boot? I supose the list is not always actualized when a driver (compiled
as a module) is being removed or incorrectly initialized. A problem
appears if one tries to load a driver again (list becomes circular).

I think the problem exists in many drivers in 2.1.55...
