Commit c05ae9d85b47 ("dax/bus.c: replace driver-core lock usage by a local
rwsem") aimed to undo device_lock() abuses for protecting changes to
dax-driver internal data-structures like the dax_region resource tree to
device-dax-instance range structures. However, the device_lock() was
legitimately enforcing that devices to be deleted were not current
actively attached to any driver nor assigned any capacity from the region.
As a result of the device_lock restoration in delete_store(), the
conditional locking in unregister_dev_dax() and unregister_dax_mapping()
can be removed.

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.
