lock((work_completion)(&msk->work));
*** DEADLOCK ***
The report is actually a false positive, since the only existing lock
nesting is the msk socket lock acquired by the mptcp work.
cancel_work_sync() is invoked without the relevant socket lock being
held, but under a different (the msk listener) socket lock.
We could silence the splat adding a per workqueue dynamic lockdep key,
but that looks overkill. Instead just tell lockdep the msk socket lock
is not held around cancel_work_sync().

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.
