Thanks, but you don't have to insert __acquire() and __release() calls
in the function.  Just declare __releases() and __acquires() as below.

 static void nilfs_segctor_kill_thread(struct nilfs_sc_info *sci)
+       __releases(&sci->sc_state_lock)
+       __acquires(&sci->sc_state_lock)
 {

You can find this style of examples in other sites in the kernel.

Thanks,
Ryusuke Konishi
