    vsock: fix potential deadlock in transport->release() · 3f74957f
    Stefano Garzarella authored
    
    
    Some transports (hyperv, virtio) acquire the sock lock during the
    .release() callback.
    
    In the vsock_stream_connect() we call vsock_assign_transport(); if
    the socket was previously assigned to another transport, the
    vsk->transport->release() is called, but the sock lock is already
    held in the vsock_stream_connect(), causing a deadlock reported by
    syzbot:

    To avoid this issue, this patch remove the lock acquiring in the
    .release() callback of hyperv and virtio transports, and it holds
    the lock when we call vsk->transport->release() in the vsock core.
