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.
