Hello Raghava Aditya Renukunta, The patch 6223a39fe6fb: "scsi: aacraid: Added support for hotplug" from Feb 2, 2017, leads to the following static checker warning: drivers/scsi/aacraid/commsup.c:2243 aac_process_events() error: double unlock 'spin_lock:t_lock' drivers/scsi/aacraid/commsup.c 2130 spin_lock_irqsave(t_lock, flags); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 2131 2132 while (!list_empty(&(dev->queues->queue[HostNormCmdQueue].cmdq))) { 2133 struct list_head *entry; 2134 struct aac_aifcmd *aifcmd; 2135 unsigned int num; 2136 struct hw_fib **hw_fib_pool, **hw_fib_p; 2137 struct fib **fib_pool, **fib_p; 2138 2139 set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING); 2140 2141 entry = dev->queues->queue[HostNormCmdQueue].cmdq.next; 2142 list_del(entry); 2143 2144 t_lock = dev->queues->queue[HostNormCmdQueue].lock; 2145 spin_unlock_irqrestore(t_lock, flags); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 2146 2147 fib = list_entry(entry, struct fib, fiblink); 2148 hw_fib = fib->hw_fib_va; 2149 if (dev->sa_firmware) { 2150 /* Thor AIF */ 2151 aac_handle_sa_aif(dev, fib); 2152 aac_fib_adapter_complete(fib, (u16)sizeof(u32)); 2153 continue; The locking isn't right here.
