Re: [PATCH bpf-next] xsk: Fix circular locking dependency in xsk_bind

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for the quick review and pointer. You are completely right —
I missed that xsk_notifier() calls xp_clear_dev() while holding xs->mutex,
which acquires netdev_lock_ops() internally.

Please drop this patch. I will step back and do a more thorough analysis
of the full locking design between xs->mutex, net->xdp.lock, and
xp_clear_dev().

Thanks,
