From 7134f6372c8039cd90e6fbcd977fb723dd05d3bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Phil Sutter Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2024 20:56:55 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: ipset: Fix for recursive locking warning [ Upstream commit 70b6f46a4ed8bd56c85ffff22df91e20e8c85e33 ] With CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING, when creating a set of type bitmap:ip, adding it to a set of type list:set and populating it from iptables SET target triggers a kernel warning: | WARNING: possible recursive locking detected | 6.12.0-rc7-01692-g5e9a28f41134-dirty #594 Not tainted | -------------------------------------------- | ping/4018 is trying to acquire lock: | ffff8881094a6848 (&set->lock){+.-.}-{2:2}, at: ip_set_add+0x28c/0x360 [ip_set] | | but task is already holding lock: | ffff88811034c048 (&set->lock){+.-.}-{2:2}, at: ip_set_add+0x28c/0x360 [ip_set] This is a false alarm: ipset does not allow nested list:set type, so the loop in list_set_kadd() can never encounter the outer set itself. No other set type supports embedded sets, so this is the only case to consider. To avoid the false report, create a distinct lock class for list:set type ipset locks.
