David Sterba 88c14590cd btrfs: use RCU in btrfs_show_devname for device list traversal
The show_devname callback is used to print device name in
/proc/self/mounts, we need to traverse the device list consistently and
read the name that's copied to a seq buffer so we don't need further
locking.

If the first device is being deleted at the same time, the RCU will
allow us to read the device name, though it will become stale right
after the RCU protection ends. This is unavoidable and the user can
expect that the device will disappear from the filesystem's list at some
point.

The device_list_mutex was pretty heavy as it is used eg. for writing
superblock and a few other IO related contexts. This can stall any
application that reads the proc file for no reason.

README

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.
