lockdep does not know that the locks used by IPv4 defrag
and IPv6 reassembly units are of different classes.
It complains because of following chains :
1) sch_direct_xmit() (lock txq->_xmit_lock)
dev_hard_start_xmit()
xmit_one()
dev_queue_xmit_nit()
packet_rcv_fanout()
ip_check_defrag()
ip_defrag()
spin_lock() (lock frag queue spinlock)
2) ip6_input_finish()
ipv6_frag_rcv() (lock frag queue spinlock)
ip6_frag_queue()
icmpv6_param_prob() (lock txq->_xmit_lock at some point)
We could add lockdep annotations, but we also can make sure IPv6
calls icmpv6_param_prob() only after the release of the frag queue spinlock,
since this naturally makes frag queue spinlock a leaf in lock hierarchy.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
