Yes, explain *why* you are doing this

It is super weird to unlock just around complete.

Oh, sorry. I did not mention it but there's no particular reason
really. The @Subject says it all. There should be no logical or
functional change other than reducing the span of that critical
section. In other words, just nitpicking, not a big deal.

While checking the code (and past changes) related to the other issue
I also sent today I just noticed the way 08bc327629cbd added the
spin_lock before returning from this function and it appeared to me
it's clearer the way I'm proposing here.

Honestly, I was not looking into why the lock is released for that
completion. And I'm not changing that logic.

If this complete() can be called with priv->lock held, the cleanup
would look different, of course.

That said, If you'd like to keep this patch I can send a v2 with the
above details in the message body. Otherwise feel free to drop this.

complete() can be called under spinlocks just fine, AFAIK..

Yup, agreed. We ended up removing the lock completely in this function
with the other patch. This patch can be discarded.
