From 2e2cdace5a26507a564d319a1338920a838ef52e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matan Barak Date: Wed, 30 Dec 2015 16:14:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] IB/core: Eliminate sparse false context imbalance warning When write_gid function needs to do a sleep-able operation, it unlocks table->rwlock and then relocks it. Sparse complains about context imbalance. This is safe as write_gid is always called with table->rwlock. write_gid protects from simultaneous writes to this GID entry by setting the GID_TABLE_ENTRY_INVALID flag.
