Linux 6.16 Adds Support For Graceful Host Removal For eMMC & SD Cards


The MMC subsystem feature changes have been merged for the Linux 6.16 kernel

Interestingly and surprisingly, it's not until now that the Linux kernel has properly supported the graceful host removal for eMMC and SD cards. It was noted that problems could arise currently with Linux such as if the card was expecting power-off notifications but no host to send them anymore. With Linux 6.16 this graceful host removal should now be all set for eMMC and SD cards with the MMC pull request having been merged yesterday.
