The dev_alloc_list list could be protected by various mutexes, depending on the context. The list tracks devices that can take part of allocating new chunks, so the closest mutex is chunk_mutex. Adding a new device from inside the ADD_DEV ioctl will need device_list_mutex and registering a new device from the ioctl needs uuid_mutex. All mutexes naturally guarantee exclusivity against the same context. The device ownership can move between the contexts and the exclusivity is guaranteed by other means, eg. during the mount with the uuid_mutex. There's no RCU involved for dev_alloc_list.

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.
