here is a simple (hopefuly correct) example of a scanner - that will look
for inbalanced use of spinlocks and bh disable/enable - it reports one 
line per file that matches giving the name and line-numbers of the 
potentially inballanced calls. 


@r1@                                                                            
identifier f;
expression E;
position p1,p2,p3;

local_bh_disable()@p2;
...
spin_lock(E)@p3;
...
spin_unlock_bh(E)@p1;
)

}

@script:python@
p1 << r1.p1;
p2 << r1.p2;
p3 << r1.p3;
@@
print "file:%s at lines %s %s %s" % (p1[0].file,p1[0].line, p2[0].line, p3[0].line)


put this in a file called scan.cocci and running with the below command 
gives me:

hofrat at debian:/usr/src/linux-next$ spatch --cocci-file /tmp/scan.cocci --dir net/core/
