It should be familiar and beneficial to expose devlink instance lock to the drivers. This way drivers can block devlink from calling them during critical sections without breakneck locking. Add port helpers, port splitting callbacks will be the first target. Use 'devl_' prefix for "explicitly locked" API. Initial RFC used '__devlink' but that's too much typing. devl_lock_is_held() is not defined without lockdep, which is the same behavior as lockdep_is_held() itself.

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.
