Lockdep reports: ====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 5.16.0-rc1+ #142 Tainted: G OE ------------------------------------------------------ cxl/1220 is trying to acquire lock: ffff979b85475460 (kn->active#144){++++}-{0:0}, at: __kernfs_remove+0x1ab/0x1e0 but task is already holding lock: ffff979b87ab38e8 (&dev->lockdep_mutex#2/4){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: cxl_remove_ep+0x50c/0x5c0 [cxl_core] ...where cxl_remove_ep() is a helper that wants to delete ports while holding a lock on the host device for that port. That sets up a lockdep violation whereby target_list_show() can not rely holding the decoder's device lock while walking the target_list. Switch to a dedicated seqlock for this purpose.
