Since commit 5bbb1ab5bd ("control: use counting semaphore as write lock
for ELEM_WRITE operation"), mixer values have been fully read-write
locked. This means that it is now unnecessary to apply any additional
locks to values that are accessed solely by mixer callbacks. Values that
are read outside mixer callbacks still need write locking. There are no
cases of mixer values being written outside mixer callbacks, so no read
locks remain in mixer callbacks.
Note that the removed locks refer only to the emu data structure, not
the card's registers as the lock's name suggests.

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.
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.
