With the removal of the skd driver, using IRQ safe locking of a bdev
bd_size_lock spinlock to protect the bdev inode size is not necessary
anymore as there is no other known driver using this lock under an IRQ
disabled context (e.g. calling set_capacity() with IRQ disabled).
Revert commit 0fe37724 ("block: fix bd_size_lock use") which
introduced the IRQ safe change.

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.
