From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jason Wang Subject: [PATCH net] vhost_net: add missing lock nesting notation Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2018 16:10:23 +0800 Message-ID: <1522051823-5166-1-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: virtualization-bounces@lists.linux-foundation.org Errors-To: virtualization-bounces@lists.linux-foundation.org To: mst@redhat.com, kvm@vger.kernel.org, virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org, netdev@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org List-Id: virtualization@lists.linuxfoundation.org We try to hold TX virtqueue mutex in vhost_net_rx_peek_head_len() after RX virtqueue mutex is held in handle_rx(). This requires an appropriate lock nesting notation to calm down deadlock detector.
