Hello Vitaly Kuznetsov,
The patch b05d8d9ef5ef: "Drivers: hv: hv_balloon: eliminate the
trylock path in acquire/release_region_mutex" from Feb 28, 2015,
leads to the following static checker warning:
drivers/hv/hv_balloon.c:669 hv_mem_hot_add()
warn: 'mutex:&dm_device.ha_region_mutex' is sometimes locked here and
sometimes unlocked.
drivers/hv/hv_balloon.c
609 static void hv_mem_hot_add(unsigned long start, unsigned long size,
610 unsigned long pfn_count,
611 struct hv_hotadd_state *has)

614 int i, nid;
615 unsigned long start_pfn;

The callers assume we return with the lock held so they double unlock.
Probably double unlocking is not so terrible as double locking...
