[PATCHv4,5/7] block: protect nr_requests update using q->elevator_lock

Commit Message

Nilay Shroff Feb. 25, 2025, 1:30 p.m. UTC

The sysfs attribute nr_requests could be simultaneously updated from
elevator switch/update or nr_hw_queue update code path. The update to
nr_requests for each of those code paths runs holding q->elevator_lock.
So we should protect access to sysfs attribute nr_requests using q->
elevator_lock instead of q->sysfs_lock.
