In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mptcp: fix possible deadlock in subflow diag

Syzbot and Eric reported a lockdep splat in the subflow diag:

WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
6.8.0-rc4-syzkaller-00212-g40b9385dd8e6 #0 Not tainted

syz-executor.2/24141 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff888045870130 (k-sk_lock-AF_INET6){+.+.}-{0:0}, at:

but task is already holding lock:

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

As noted by Eric we can break the lock dependency chain avoid
