The variable phba->fcf.fcf_flag is often protected by the lock phba->hbalock() when is accessed. Here is an example in lpfc_unregister_fcf_rescan(): spin_lock_irq(&phba->hbalock); phba->fcf.fcf_flag |= FCF_INIT_DISC; spin_unlock_irq(&phba->hbalock); However, in the same function, phba->fcf.fcf_flag is assigned with 0 without holding the lock, and thus can cause a data race: phba->fcf.fcf_flag = 0; To fix this possible data race, a lock and unlock pair is added when accessing the variable phba->fcf.fcf_flag.
