The patch titled jbd: add lock annotation to jbd_sync_bh has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is jbd-add-lock-annotation-to-jbd_sync_bh.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: jbd: add lock annotation to jbd_sync_bh From: Josh Triplett <josht@xxxxxxxxxx> jbd_sync_bh releases journal->j_list_lock. Add a lock annotation to this function so that sparse can check callers for lock pairing, and so that sparse will not complain about this function since it intentionally uses the lock in this manner.
