Hi Eric,

I noted that CVE-2024-26624 was assigned by the kernel CVE authority to
the issue fixed by commit 4d322dce82a1 "af_unix: fix lockdep positive
in sk_diag_dump_icons()".  By my understanding, this does not fix any
locking bug, but only a false positive report from lockdep.  Do you
consider this a security issue?

Ben.
