This simple test-case trigers few locking asserts in kernel:

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        unsigned int block_size = 16 * 4096;
        struct nl_mmap_req req = {
                .nm_block_size          = block_size,
                .nm_block_nr            = 64,
                .nm_frame_size          = 16384,
                .nm_frame_nr            = 64 * block_size / 16384,
        };
        unsigned int ring_size;
	int fd;

	fd = socket(AF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_GENERIC);
        if (setsockopt(fd, SOL_NETLINK, NETLINK_RX_RING, &req, sizeof(req)) < 0)
                exit(1);
        if (setsockopt(fd, SOL_NETLINK, NETLINK_TX_RING, &req, sizeof(req)) < 0)
                exit(1);

	ring_size = req.nm_block_nr * req.nm_block_size;
	mmap(NULL, 2 * ring_size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
	return 0;
}

Cong Wang says:

We can't hold mutex lock in a rcu callback, [..]

Thomas Graf says:

The socket should be dead at this point. It might be simpler to
add a netlink_release_ring() function which doesn't require
locking at all.
