Re: [PATCH] nbd: reclassify socket lock in nbd_reconnect_socket



Friendly ping.

nbd_reconnect_socket() obtains a new socket via nbd_get_socket() but
does not call nbd_reclassify_socket(), leaving the socket's sk_lock in
the default AF_INET6 lockdep class.  This causes false circular lock
dependency warnings because lockdep merges the NBD socket's sk_lock
with unrelated sockets (e.g., rawv6_sendmsg) that establish a
sk_lock -> fs_reclaim dependency in normal operation.

nbd_add_socket() already reclassifies correctly on the initial connect
path, but the reconnect path was missed.

Add the missing nbd_reclassify_socket() call after nbd_get_socket() in
nbd_reconnect_socket().
