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.

Registering and unregistering cpuhp callback requires global cpu hotplug lock, which is used everywhere. Meantime q->sysfs_lock is used in block layer almost everywhere. It is easy to trigger lockdep warning[1] by connecting the two locks. Fix the warning by moving blk-mq's cpuhp callback registering out of q->sysfs_lock. Add one dedicated global lock for covering registering & unregistering hctx's cpuhp, and it is safe to do so because hctx is guaranteed to be live if our request_queue is live.
