 Details    : in some rare cases, the cat log bitmap is set too early. and it 
 	     should be set only after create log success.
 
+Severity   : major
+Bugzilla   : 11971
+Description: Accessing a block bevice can re-enable I/O when Lustre is
+	     tearing down a device.
+Details    : dev_clear_rdonly(bdev) must be called in kill_bdev() instead of
+	     blkdev_put().
