Hi Arnd,

Ah, now I see. The error message mislead me, as I straight away checked 
hisi_sas_task_prep() which does the same locking and also reuses flags 
for spinlock_irqsave(), but it's safe here.

But, as you pointed out, the problem is in 
hisi_sas_internal_abort_task_exec().

A thought: it would be useful if coccinelle printed explicitly the 
function name which has the warning/error.

Thanks,
John
