The lock annotations used on spinlocks and rwlocks currently use
__{acquires,releases}(spinlock_t) and __{acquires,releases}(rwlock_t),
respectively. This loses the information of which lock actually got acquired
or released, and assumes a different type for the parameter of __acquires and
__releases than the rest of the kernel. While the current implementations of
__acquires and __releases throw away their argument, this will not always
remain the case. Change this to use the lock parameter instead, to preserve
this information and increase consistency in usage of __acquires and
__releases.

It won't? Why, what will happen?

See http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-sparse&m=115644727723278&w=2
(Message-ID: [email protected]); with
that patch, sparse can track a context expression per context. I plan
to make sparse use that context expression to track contexts
independently to improve the correctness and usefulness of context
warnings. The Linux patch "Pass sparse the lock expression given to
lock annotations" that I just sent (Message-ID:
[email protected]) changes
__acquires, __releases, __acquire, and __release to stop ignoring the
lock expression, and pass it to sparse.
