Description:
While using SD cards on my Dell Latitude E6520 laptop, the kernel frequently crashes due to a divide by zero error when. Apparently the error is caused by dividing by the SD card reader's clock frequency, which can be zero while the card is stopped.

Additional info:
* package version: linux-3.0.4-1 (x86_64, stock Arch config)

Steps to reproduce:
* 1. Insert and mount an SD card
* 2. Try to read from it then wait
This task depends upon

Upon further inspection it appears that this is probably the same bug as https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23778

Looks like it, so can we close it?

I am also experiencing this issue -- I have not been able to use my SD card reader since at least early September. Gotta boot into Windows to transfer pictures. :(

really sad, but did you ever mail to lkml for help?

Nope, I'm not a mailing-list user. However, I am happy to provide any information that would be helpful via this bug-tracker task (which was my intent in my last comment as well -- I wasn't intending to sound whiny).

The archlinux devs aren't kernel devs you should _really_ ask them
