syz.2.1093/7802 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff80001c9ef4b8 (nfnl_subsys_ipset){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: nfnl_lock+0x50/0x78 net/netfilter/nfnetlink.c:98

but task is already holding lock:

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  nfnl_subsys_ipset --> nlk_cb_mutex-NETFILTER --> &nft_net->commit_mutex

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&nft_net->commit_mutex);
                               lock(nlk_cb_mutex-NETFILTER);
                               lock(&nft_net->commit_mutex);
  lock(nfnl_subsys_ipset);
