syz.1.1331/11144 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff888054b136b0 (&xs->mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: xsk_notifier+0x101/0x280 net/xdp/xsk.c:1649

but task is already holding lock:
ffff888052f43d58 (&net->xdp.lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: xsk_notifier+0xa4/0x280 net/xdp/xsk.c:1645

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:
  &xs->mutex --> &dev_instance_lock_key#20 --> &net->xdp.lock

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&net->xdp.lock);
                               lock(&dev_instance_lock_key#20);
                               lock(&net->xdp.lock);
  lock(&xs->mutex);
