[PATCH 07/11] fs_pin: Add missing annotation for pin_kill() declaration

From: Jules Irenge
Date: Sun Feb 09 2020 - 17:44:18 EST


Sparse reports warnings within the kernel acct.c file
at acct_exit_ns(), __se_sys_acct(), acct_on()

warning: context imbalance in acct_on()
- different lock contexts for basic block
warning: context imbalance in __se_sys_acct()
- different lock contexts for basic block
warning: context imbalance in acct_exit_ns()
- wrong count at exit

The root cause is the missing annotation at pin_kill()

In fact acct_exit_ns(), __se_sys_sys_acct() and acct_on()
do actually call rcu_read_lock()
then call pin_kill() which is defined elsewhere.
A close look at pin_kill()
- called 3 times in the core kernel and 2 times elsewhere-
shows that pin_kill() does actually call rcu_read_unlock().
Adding the annotation at declaration and definition of pin_kill()
not only fixes the warnings
but also improves on the readability of the code

Add the missing annotation __release(RCU)
