From 4192f672fae559f32d82de72a677701853cc98a7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Hajnoczi Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2016 16:28:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] vsock: make listener child lock ordering explicit There are several places where the listener and pending or accept queue child sockets are accessed at the same time. Lockdep is unhappy that two locks from the same class are held. Tell lockdep that it is safe and document the lock ordering. Originally Claudio Imbrenda sent a similar patch asking whether this is safe. I have audited the code and also covered the vsock_pending_work() function.
