Subject: re: mtip32xx: Add new bitwise flag 'dd_flag'

Hello Asai Thambi S P,

The patch 45038367c271: "mtip32xx: Add new bitwise flag 'dd_flag'"
from Apr 9, 2012, leads to the following Smatch warning:
drivers/block/mtip32xx/mtip32xx.c:2516 mtip_hw_get_scatterlist()
	 warn: inconsistent returns sem:&dd->port->cmd_slot: locked (2514,2516) unlocked ()

        down(&dd->port->cmd_slot);
        *tag = get_slot(dd->port);
 
+       if (unlikely(test_bit(MTIP_DD_FLAG_REMOVE_PENDING_BIT, &dd->dd_flag))) {

We release the lock here.

        if (unlikely(*tag < 0))
                return NULL;
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Should we release it here as well?

regards,
dan carpenter
