ext2 fs corruption and usb devices

2.4.18-pre7 hopefully solves the systematic freeze i meet with 2.4.18-pre6 when dropping my ADSL usb connection.

2.4.18-pre6 freezes when rmmoding usb-uhci inside an ADSL disconnect script. The last entries in log is :
usb.c: USB disconnect on device 1
usb.c: USB disconnect on device 2

sysrq remains responsive but doesn't avoid the need for fscking to correct many i_blocks size, block bitmap differences... on the ext2 root fs.

running ksymoops on sysrq <p> gives this :

with 2.4.18-pre7 the landing is soft :

usb.c: USB disconnect on device 2
usb.c: USB bus 1 deregistered
usb.c: deregistering driver Alcatel SpeedTouch USB usb.c: deregistering driver usbdevfs usb.c: deregistering driver hub

with 2.5.3-pre5 as well :
usb.c: USB disconnect on device 1
usb.c: USB disconnect on device 2
usb.c: USB bus 1 deregistered
usb.c: deregistering driver Alcatel SpeedTouch USB usb.c: deregistering driver usbfs
usb.c: usb_hub_thread exiting
usb.c: deregistering driver hub
