Julia,
We've submitted this patch upstream to scsi-misc already on Oct 15th (Dan Carpenter had flagged this). Here's the submission info (patch (01/12) or item #12 in the link below:

Thanks, Madhu

Bottomley; Grant Likely; linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org; linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org; devicetree-discuss@lists.ozlabs.org Subject: [PATCH 1/4] drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_init.c: convert nested spin_lock_irqsave to spin_lock
From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>
If spin_lock_irqsave is called twice in a row with the same second argument, the interrupt state at the point of the second call overwrites the value saved by the first call. Indeed, the second call does not need to save the interrupt state, so it is changed to a simple spin_lock.
The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl> @@ expression lock1,lock2; expression flags; @@
*spin_lock_irqsave(lock1,flags) ... when != flags *spin_lock_irqsave(lock2,flags) // </smpl>
