From: Phil Sutter <phil@xxxxxx>
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.
