The __blk_mq_register_dev(), blk_mq_unregister_dev(), elv_register_queue() and elv_unregister_queue() calls need to be protected with sysfs_lock but other code in these functions not. Hence protect only this code with sysfs_lock. This patch fixes a locking inversion issue in blk_unregister_queue() and also in an error path of blk_register_queue(): it is not allowed to hold sysfs_lock around the kobject_del(&q->kobj) call.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
