Every method in struct device_driver or structures derived from it like
struct pci_driver MUST provide exclusion vs the driver's ->remove() method,
usually by using device_lock().
Protect use of pci_error_handlers->reset_notify() by holding the device
lock while calling it.
Note:
- pci_dev_lock() calls device_lock() in addition to blocking user-space
config accesses.
- pci_err_handlers->reset_notify() is used inside
pci_dev_save_and_disable() and pci_dev_restore(). We could hold the
device lock directly in pci_reset_notify(), but we expand the region
since we have several calls following each other.
Without this, ->reset_notify() may race with ->remove() calls, which can be
easily triggered in NVMe.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
