Marek Vasut 4673be17ab PCI: sysfs: Ignore lockdep for remove attribute
[ Upstream commit dc6b698a86 ]

With CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y, using sysfs to remove a bridge with a device
below it causes a lockdep warning, e.g.,

  # echo 1 > /sys/class/pci_bus/0000:00/device/0000:00:00.0/remove
  ============================================
  WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
  ...
  pci_bus 0000:01: busn_res: [bus 01] is released

The remove recursively removes the subtree below the bridge.  Each call
uses a different lock so there's no deadlock, but the locks were all
created with the same lockdep key so the lockdep checker can't tell them
apart.

Mark the "remove" sysfs attribute with __ATTR_IGNORE_LOCKDEP() as it is
safe to ignore the lockdep check between different "remove" kernfs
instances.

There's discussion about a similar issue in USB at [1], which resulted in
356c05d58a ("sysfs: get rid of some lockdep false positives") and
e9b526fe70 ("i2c: suppress lockdep warning on delete_device"), which do
basically the same thing for USB "remove" and i2c "delete_device" files.

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.
