Sparse cannot peer into other functions to see when and if locks are acquired and released, thus it simply warns that a 'context imbalance' is detected instead. Let's be kind to Sparse and let it know that this behaviour is intentional. drivers/gpio/gpio-mlxbf2.c:125:12: warning: context imbalance in 'mlxbf2_gpio_lock_acquire' - different lock contexts for basic block drivers/gpio/gpio-mlxbf2.c:151:13: warning: context imbalance in 'mlxbf2_gpio_lock_release' - unexpected unlock Signed-off-by: Lee Jones <lee.jones@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Asmaa Mnebhi <asmaa@mellanox.com> Cc: Asmaa Mnebhi <Asmaa@mellanox.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200630133345.2232932-11-lee.jones@linaro.org Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
