The patch titled nfsd: add lock annotations to e_start and e_stop has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is nfsd-add-lock-annotations-to-e_start-and-e_stop.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: nfsd: add lock annotations to e_start and e_stop From: Josh Triplett <josht@xxxxxxxxxx> e_start acquires svc_export_cache.hash_lock, and e_stop releases it. Add lock annotations to these two functions so that sparse can check callers for lock pairing, and so that sparse will not complain about these functions since they intentionally use locks in this manner.
