[PATCH net v2 8/8] mptcp: fix lockdep false positive in mptcp_pm_nl_create_listen_socket()

From: Matthieu Baerts
Date: Thu Mar 09 2023 - 09:55:13 EST


From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx>

Christoph reports a lockdep splat in the mptcp_subflow_create_socket()
error path, when such function is invoked by
mptcp_pm_nl_create_listen_socket().

Such code path acquires two separates, nested socket lock, with the
internal lock operation lacking the "nested" annotation. Adding that
in sock_release() for mptcp's sake only could be confusing.

Instead just add a new lockclass to the in-kernel msk socket,
re-initializing the lockdep infra after the socket creation.

Fixes: ad2171009d96 ("mptcp: fix locking for in-kernel listener creation")
