When running blktest's nvme/005 with a lockdep enabled kernel the test
case fails due to the following lockdep splat in dmesg:
=============================
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
4.17.0-rc5 #881 Not tainted
-----------------------------
drivers/nvme/host/nvme.h:457 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
other info that might help us debug this:
rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
3 locks held by kworker/u32:5/1102:
#0: (ptrval) ((wq_completion)"nvme-wq"){+.+.}, at: process_one_work+0x152/0x5c0
#1: (ptrval) ((work_completion)(&ctrl->scan_work)){+.+.}, at: process_one_work+0x152/0x5c0
#2: (ptrval) (&subsys->lock#2){+.+.}, at: nvme_ns_remove+0x43/0x1c0 [nvme_core]
The only caller of nvme_mpath_clear_current_path() is nvme_ns_remove()
which holds the subsys lock so it's likely a false positive, but when
using rcu_access_pointer(), we're telling rcu and lockdep that we're
only after the pointer falue.

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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
