The previous patch introduced ->alloc_sched_data and ->free_sched_data methods. This patch builds upon that by now using these methods during elevator switch and nr_hw_queue update. It's also ensured that scheduler-specific data is allocated and freed through the new callbacks outside of the ->freeze_lock and ->elevator_lock locking contexts, thereby preventing any dependency on pcpu_alloc_mutex.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
