There were few lockdep warnings because btrfs_show_devname() was using device_list_mutex as recorded in the commits: 0ccd05285e7f ("btrfs: fix a possible umount deadlock") 779bf3fefa83 ("btrfs: fix lock dep warning, move scratch dev out of device_list_mutex and uuid_mutex") And finally, commit 88c14590cdd6 ("btrfs: use RCU in btrfs_show_devname for device list traversal") removed the device_list_mutex from btrfs_show_devname for performance reasons. This patch removes a stale comment about the function btrfs_show_devname and device_list_mutex.

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.
