So this is a lock nesting issue and looking at the stack trace this
comes from:

> lock_sock_fast+0x36/0x100 net/core/sock.c:3229

which does not support lockdep nesting. So from a lockdep POV this is
recursive locking the same lock class. And it's the case I was worried
about that lockdep testing never takes the slow path. The original
lockdep annotation would have produced exactly the same splat in the
slow path case.

So it's not a new problem. It's just visible by moving the lockdep
annotations to a place where they actually can detect issues which were
not reported before.

See also https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/874kacu248.ffs@tglx/

There are two ways to address this mptcp one:

1) Teach lock_sock_fast() about lock nesting

2) Use lock_sock_nested() in mptcp_close() as that should not be
really a hotpath. See patch below.

Thanks,

tglx

Thank you for looking into this! I agree this specific case is not
fastpath, so definitely the proposed patch LGTM.

I fear there could be other similar cases in the MPTCP code, in more
time critical paths, and perhaps there are other relevant use-case, so
I'd like to experiment too with a lock_sock_fast_nested() variant - if
I find enough coffee ;)

Thanks,

Paolo
