sparse warns about context imbalance in any code that uses HARD_TX_LOCK/UNLOCK - this is because it's unable to determine that flags don't change so lock and unlock are paired.
Seems easy enough to fix by adding __acquire/__release calls. With this patch af_packet.c is now sparse-clean, Signed-off-by: Michael S.
