tipc: add lock nesting notation to quiet lockdep warning
TIPC accept() call grabs the socket lock on a newly allocated socket while holding the socket lock on an old socket. But lockdep worries that this might be a recursive lock attempt: [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] --------------------------------------------- kworker/u:0/6 is trying to acquire lock: (sk_lock-AF_TIPC){+.+.+.}, at: [<c8c1226c>] accept+0x15c/0x310 [tipc] but task is already holding lock: (sk_lock-AF_TIPC){+.+.+.}, at: [<c8c12138>] accept+0x28/0x310 [tipc] other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(sk_lock-AF_TIPC); lock(sk_lock-AF_TIPC); *** DEADLOCK *** May be due to missing lock nesting notation [...] Tell lockdep that this locking is safe by using lock_sock_nested(). This is similar to what was done in commit 5131a184a3458d9 for SCTP code ("SCTP: lock_sock_nested in sctp_sock_migrate"). Also note that this is isn't something that is seen normally, as it was uncovered with some experimental work-in-progress code not yet ready for mainline. So no need for stable backports or similar of this commit. Signed-off-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
