Some block device drivers, e.g. the skd driver, call set_capacity() with
IRQ disabled. This results in lockdep ito complain about inconsistent
lock states ("inconsistent {HARDIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-HARDIRQ-W} usage")
because set_capacity takes a block device bd_size_lock using the
functions spin_lock() and spin_unlock(). Ensure a consistent locking
state by replacing these calls with spin_lock_irqsave() and
spin_lock_irqrestore(). The same applies to bdev_set_nr_sectors().
With this fix, all lockdep complaints are resolved.

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.
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.
