The sparse checker currently outputs the following warnings: include/linux/rcupdate.h:632:9: sparse: sparse: context imbalance in 'sock_hash_seq_start' - wrong count at exit include/linux/rcupdate.h:632:9: sparse: sparse: context imbalance in 'sock_map_seq_start' - wrong count at exit Add the necessary __acquires and __release annotations to make the iterator locking schema palatable to sparse. Also add __must_hold for good measure. The kernel codebase uses both __acquires(rcu) and __acquires(RCU). I couldn't find any guidance which one is preferred, so I used what is easier to type out.
