Since 2002 (change "Replace BKL for chain locking with sysvfs-private rwlock") the sysv filesystem was doing IO under a rwlock in its get_block() function (yes, a non-sleepable lock hold over a function used to read inode metadata for all reads and writes). Nobody noticed until syzbot in 2023 [1]. This shows nobody is using the filesystem. Just drop it.

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.
