but the problem sparse sees is not that some paths take only one lock
and some take two -- sparse is complaining that this function is
returning without unlocking the locks that it takes. Even if I change
the function to something as simple as:
static void mlx4_ib_lock_cqs(struct mlx4_ib_cq *send_cq, struct mlx4_ib_cq *recv_cq)
{
spin_lock_irq(&recv_cq->lock);
}
I still get
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx4/qp.c:603:13: warning: context imbalance in 'mlx4_ib_lock_cqs' - wrong count at exitn
thanks,
Roland
