new sparse warnings

Any idea what the new sparse "context imbalance" warnings are? Is
this a bug in sparse?

The functions it is complaining about don't seem to have a "context
imbalance" see e.g.the one near line 134 of fs/cifs/cifssmb.c

static void mark_open_files_invalid(struct cifsTconInfo *pTcon)
{
struct cifsFileInfo *open_file = NULL;
struct list_head *tmp;
struct list_head *tmp1;

/* list all files open on tree connection and mark them invalid */
write_lock(&GlobalSMBSeslock);
list_for_each_safe(tmp, tmp1, &pTcon->openFileList) {
open_file = list_entry(tmp, struct cifsFileInfo, tlist);
if (open_file)
open_file->invalidHandle = true;
}
write_unlock(&GlobalSMBSeslock);
}
