This field was previously used to prevent a lookup of a resource before its constructor had run to its end. This was mainly intended for an interface that is now removed that allowed looking up a resource by its device id. Currently all affected resources are added to the lookup mechanism (its TTM prime object is initialized) late in the constructor where it's OK to look up the resource. This means we can change the device resource_lock to an ordinary spinlock instead of an rwlock and remove a locking sequence during lookup.

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.
