As you say...
I've just discovered that I can get rid of the lockdep message (and hence
presumably the deadlock risk) with a well placed:

		newsock->sk->sk_allocation = GFP_NOFS;

which surprised me as it seemed to be an explicit GFP_KERNEL allocation that
was mentioned in the lockdep trace.  Obviously these traces require quite
some sophistication to understand.

So - thanks for the feedback, patch can be ignored.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
