The original comment says: q->sysfs_lock must be held to provide mutual exclusion between elevator_switch() and here. Which is simply wrong. elevator_init_mq() is only called from blk_mq_init_allocated_queue, which is always called before the request queue is registered via blk_register_queue(), for dm-rq or normal rq based driver. However, queue's kobject is only exposed and added to sysfs in blk_register_queue(). So there isn't such race between elevator_switch() and elevator_init_mq(). So avoid to hold q->sysfs_lock in elevator_init_mq().

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.
