Dear Maintainers, while trying to fix #986837 we found another issue in the aoe driver: Removal of an active aoe device leads to a page fault and inhibits the removal of the aoe module. The issue affects all kernels from v4.20-rc1 up to v5.14-rc1 including 5.10 currently in debian bullseye. The code in freedev() calls blk_mq_free_tag_set() before running blk_cleanup_queue() which leads to this issue (drivers/block/aoedev.c L281ff). The attached patch for affected kernel versions just changes the order of function calls to match the one introduced with blk_cleanup_disk() to mitigate this issue.
