This bug is a false positive lockdep warning since gtp and smc use
completely different socket protocols.

Lockdep thinks that lock_sock() in smc will deadlock with gtp's
lock_sock() acquisition. Adding a function that initializes lockdep
labels for smc socks resolved the false positives in lockdep upon
testing. Since smc uses AF_SMC and SOCKSTREAM, two labels are created to
distinguish between proper smc socks and non smc socks incorrectly
input into the function.

sock_lock_init_class_and_name() is not meant to be repeatedly called,
from sendmsg()

Find a way to do this once, perhaps in smc_create_clcsk(), but I will
let SMC experts chime in.

So I tried putting the lockdep annotations in smc_create_clcsk() as
well as smc_sock_alloc() and they both fail to remove the false
positive but putting the annotations in smc_sendmsg() gets rid of
them. I put some print statements in the functions to see the
addresses of the socks.

[ 78.121827][ T8326] smc: smc_create_clcsk clcsk_addr: ffffc90007f0fd20
[ 78.122436][ T8326] smc: sendmsg sk_addr: ffffc90007f0fa88

[ 78.136679][ T8326] smc: smc_create_clcsk clcsk_clcsk: ffffc90007f0fd70

It appears that none of the smc allocation methods are called, so
where else exactly could the sock used in sendmsg be created?


I think the problem you described can be solved through
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240912000446.1025844-1-xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx/, but Cong Wang seems to have given up on following up at the moment. If you are interested, you can try take on this problem.


Additionally, if you want to make sock_lock_init_class_and_name as a solution, the correct approach might be (But I do not recommend doing so. I still hope to maintain consistency between IPPROTO_SMC and other inet implementations as much as possible.)
