There're few sysfs attributes(RW) whose store method is protected with q->limits_lock, however the corresponding show method of these attributes run holding q->sysfs_lock and that doesn't make sense as ideally the show method of these attributes should also run holding q->limits_lock instead of q->sysfs_lock. Hence update the show method of these sysfs attributes so that reading of these attributes acquire q->limits_lock instead of q->sysfs_lock. Similarly, there're few sysfs attributes(RO) whose show method is currently protected with q->sysfs_lock however updates to these attributes could occur using atomic limit update APIs such as queue_ limits_start_update() and queue_limits_commit_update() which run holding q->limits_lock. So that means that reading these attributes holding q->sysfs_lock doesn't make sense. Hence update the show method of these sysfs attributes(RO) such that they run with holding q-> limits_lock instead of q->sysfs_lock. We have defined a new macro QUEUE_LIM_RO_ENTRY() which uses new ->show_ limit() method and it runs holding q->limits_lock. All existing sysfs attributes(RO) which needs protection using q->limits_lock while reading have been now updated to use this new macro for initialization. Also, the existing QUEUE_LIM_RW_ENTRY() is updated to use new ->show_ limit() method for reading attributes instead of existing ->show() method. As ->show_limit() runs holding q->limits_lock, the existing sysfs attributes(RW) requiring protection are now inherently protected using q->limits_lock instead of q->sysfs_lock.

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.
