pkt_list_lock was used before commit 71dc9ec9ac7d ("virtio/vsock: replace virtio_vsock_pkt with sk_buff") to protect the packet queue. After that commit we switched to sk_buff and we are using sk_buff_head.lock in almost every place to protect the packet queue except in vsock_loopback_work() when we call skb_queue_splice_init(). As reported by syzbot, this caused unlocked concurrent access to the packet queue between vsock_loopback_work() and vsock_loopback_cancel_pkt() since it is not holding pkt_list_lock. With the introduction of sk_buff_head, pkt_list_lock is redundant and can cause confusion, so let's remove it and use sk_buff_head.lock everywhere to protect the packet queue access.

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. 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.
