======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
6.11.0-rc5-syzkaller-gdf54f4a16f82 #0 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
syz-executor272/6388 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff8000923b6ce8 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: rtnl_lock+0x20/0x2c
net/core/rtnetlink.c:79

but task is already holding lock:
ffff0000dc408a50 (&smc->clcsock_release_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at:
smc_setsockopt+0x178/0x10fc net/smc/af_smc.c:3064

which lock already depends on the new lock.

I have noticed this issue for a while, but I question the possibility of
it. If I understand correctly, a deadlock issue following is reported here:

#2
lock_sock_smc
{
clcsock_release_lock --- deadlock
{

}
}

#1
rtnl_mutex
{
lock_sock_smc
{

}
}

#0
clcsock_release_lock
{
rtnl_mutex --deadlock
{

}
}

This is of course a deadlock, but #1 is suspicious.

How would this happen to a smc sock?

#1 ->
lock_sock_nested+0x38/0xe8 net/core/sock.c:3543
lock_sock include/net/sock.h:1607 [inline]
sockopt_lock_sock net/core/sock.c:1061 [inline]
sockopt_lock_sock+0x58/0x74 net/core/sock.c:1052
do_ip_setsockopt+0xe0/0x2358 net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c:1078
ip_setsockopt+0x34/0x9c net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c:1417
raw_setsockopt+0x7c/0x2e0 net/ipv4/raw.c:845
sock_common_setsockopt+0x70/0xe0 net/core/sock.c:3735
do_sock_setsockopt+0x17c/0x354 net/socket.c:2324

As a comparison, the correct calling chain should be:

sock_common_setsockopt+0x70/0xe0 net/core/sock.c:3735
smc_setsockopt+0x150/0xcec net/smc/af_smc.c:3072
do_sock_setsockopt+0x17c/0x354 net/socket.c:2324


That's to say, any setting on SOL_IP options of smc_sock will
go with smc_setsockopt, which will try lock clcsock_release_lock at first.

Anyway, if anyone can explain #1, then we can see how to solve this problem,
otherwise I think this problem doesn't exist. (Just my opinion)
Then SMC lacks some lockdep annotations.

Please take a look at sock_lock_init_class_and_name() callers.

It seems so, which also explains why it wasn't reported with AF_SMC sock.
I'll try to fix it ASAP.
