From 5131a184a3458d9ac47d9eba032cf4c4d3295afd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zach Brown Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2007 15:14:46 -0700 Subject: SCTP: lock_sock_nested in sctp_sock_migrate sctp_sock_migrate() grabs the socket lock on a newly allocated socket while holding the socket lock on an old socket. lockdep worries that this might be a recursive lock attempt. task/3026 is trying to acquire lock: (sk_lock-AF_INET){--..}, at: [] sctp_sock_migrate+0x2e3/0x327 [sctp] but task is already holding lock: (sk_lock-AF_INET){--..}, at: [] sctp_accept+0xdf/0x1e3 [sctp] This patch tells lockdep that this locking is safe by using lock_sock_nested().
