Linux kernel source tree

Currently, hctx attributes (nr_tags, nr_reserved_tags, and cpu_list)
are protected using `q->sysfs_lock`. However, these attributes can be
updated in multiple scenarios:
- During the driver's probe method.
- When updating nr_hw_queues.
- When writing to the sysfs attribute nr_requests,
which can modify nr_tags.
The nr_requests attribute is already protected using q->elevator_lock,
but none of the update paths actually use q->sysfs_lock to protect hctx
attributes. So to ensure proper synchronization, replace q->sysfs_lock
with q->elevator_lock when reading hctx attributes through sysfs.
Additionally, blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues allocates and updates hctx.
The allocation of hctx is protected using q->elevator_lock, however,
updating hctx params happens without any protection, so safeguard hctx
param update path by also using q->elevator_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.
