Nilay Shroff 14ef49657f block: fix nr_hw_queue update racing with disk addition/removal
The nr_hw_queue update could potentially race with disk addtion/removal
while registering/unregistering hctx sysfs files. The __blk_mq_update_
nr_hw_queues() runs with q->tag_list_lock held and so to avoid it racing
with disk addition/removal we should acquire q->tag_list_lock while
registering/unregistering hctx sysfs files.

With this patch, blk_mq_sysfs_register() (called during disk addition)
and blk_mq_sysfs_unregister() (called during disk removal) now runs
with q->tag_list_lock held so that it avoids racing with __blk_mq_update
_nr_hw_queues().

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.
