Hi Alasdair,

Thank you for reviewing and giving me suggestions.

I'm trying to suppress these warnings, but the latest sparse command
(2009-01-21) doesn't seem to interpret __acquires() and __releases()
macros properly.

I wrote the following sample code and tested with sparse-0.4.1 and
sparse-2009-01-21.

  static void foo(struct ioband_device *dp, unsigned long flags)
  {
          spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dp->g_lock, flags);
  }

The both sparse commands issued warnings as I expected.

  sparse-0.4.1
    CHECK   /home/ryov/work/dm-ioband/dm-ioband/src/dm-ioband-ctl.c
  /home/ryov/work/dm-ioband/dm-ioband/src/dm-ioband-ctl.c:171:13:
    warning: context imbalance in 'foo' - unexpected unlock

  sparse-2009-01-21
  /home/ryov/work/dm-ioband/dm-ioband/src/dm-ioband-ctl.c:173:2:
  warning: context problem in 'foo': '_spin_unlock_irqrestore'
    expected different context
  /home/ryov/work/dm-ioband/dm-ioband/src/dm-ioband-ctl.c:173:2:
    context 'lock': wanted >= 1, got 0

Next, I added a __releases() macro and tested again.

  static void foo(struct ioband_device *dp, unsigned long flags)
	__releases(dp->g_lock)
  {
          spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dp->g_lock, flags);
  }

Only sparse-2009-01-21 still issued the warning.

  CHECK   /home/ryov/work/dm-ioband/dm-ioband/src/dm-ioband-ctl.c
  /home/ryov/work/dm-ioband/dm-ioband/src/dm-ioband-ctl.c:174:2:
    warning: context problem in 'foo': '_spin_unlock_irqrestore'
    expected different context
  /home/ryov/work/dm-ioband/dm-ioband/src/dm-ioband-ctl.c:174:2:
    context 'lock': wanted >= 1, got 0

Could you tell me which sparse version are you using?

Thanks,
Ryo Tsuruta
