Hi,

Thanks for your response. The situation that I had described is
analogous to what I have faced.
I am trying to test the linux power management framework (for
hibernation) on a ARM based custom SoC which has a usb host
controller.
I attach an external usb mass-storage device(hard disk), mount it
(/dev/sda) and then hibernate the system.
On resuming I see that the usb device gets detached, the controller re
probes for the device, and the device gets re-attached as /dev/sdb.

I see that in this situation too the scsi_disk_release do not get
called because of the reference count.
So I was wondering if it is expected behaviour of kernel or not.
