Subject: LOCKDEP complaints in l2tp_xmit_skb()

In testing L2TP ethernet pseudowires I have observed some complaints
from lockdep due to circular/recursive locking in l2tp_xmit_skb().

I'm testing the -net tree, which includes Eric's recent patches to
squash another lockdep error by converting l2tp to LLTX.  Git hash
d7ffde35e31a811.

My test setup consists of two AMD64 boxes, both running 32bit kernels.
One box is SMP, the other UP.  My test procedure consists of creating
an L2TP tunnel containing N ethernet pseudowires.  I then run N iperf
sessions across the N pseudowires.  The simplest configuration is:


[On HOST A]
ip l2tp add tunnel \
	tunnel_id 1 \
	peer_tunnel_id 1 \
	local <HOST A ip> \
	remote <HOST B ip> \
	udp_sport 9999 \
	udp_dport 9999
ip add session \
	tunnel_id 1 \
	session_id 1 \
	peer_session_id 1
ip addr add 172.16.0.1 \
	peer 172.16.0.2/24 \
	broadcast 172.16.0.255 \
	dev l2tpeth0
ip link set l2tpeth0 up
iperf -s -B 172.16.0.1

[On HOST B]
ip l2tp add tunnel \
	tunnel_id 1 \
	peer_tunnel_id 1 \
	local <HOST B ip> \
	remote <HOST A ip> \
	udp_sport 9999 \
	udp_dport 9999
ip add session \
	tunnel_id 1 \
	session_id 1 \
	peer_session_id 1
ip addr add 172.16.0.2 \
	peer 172.16.0.1/24 \
	broadcast 172.16.0.255 \
	dev l2tpeth0
ip link set l2tpeth0 up
iperf -c 172.16.0.1


If I run four concurrent iperf sessions across four pseudowires I
see lockdep complaints on both SMP and UP boxes.

Lockdep output for the AMD64 SMP machine:
