[ Upstream commitce8ee8583e] Use trylock instead of blocking lock acquisition for update_nr_hwq_lock in queue_requests_store() and elv_iosched_store() to avoid circular lock dependency with kernfs active reference during concurrent disk deletion: update_nr_hwq_lock -> kn->active (via del_gendisk -> kobject_del) kn->active -> update_nr_hwq_lock (via sysfs write path) Return -EBUSY when the lock is not immediately available.

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.
