[PATCH v15 3/5] PCI: Move declaration of pci_rescan_remove_lock into public pci.h

From: Benjamin Block

Date: Thu Sep 24 2026 - 13:23:31 EST


So far it is possible to use and call the functions
pci_lock_rescan_remove() and pci_unlock_rescan_remove() from any PCI
code, including modules and architecture code; but the lock variable
`pci_rescan_remove_lock` itself is private to objects residing in
`drivers/pci/` via the header `drivers/pci/pci.h`.

This makes it possible to use the lock - lock it, unlock it - from
anywhere, but it is not possible to use lockdep annotations such as
lockdep_assert_held(), or sparse annotations such as __must_hold() in
modules or architecture code for PCI to make the usage more safe.

Since it is useful for `pci_rescan_remove_lock` to have such
annotations, move the variable declaration into `include/linux/pci.h`.
