Hi Dexuan,
I tested on virtio socket and it works as expected!

With your patch applied I don't have issues and call-trace. Without
the patch I have a very similar call-trace (as expected):
    ============================================
    WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
    5.3.0-vsock #17 Not tainted
    --------------------------------------------
    python3/872 is trying to acquire lock:
    ffff88802b650110 (sk_lock-AF_VSOCK){+.+.}, at: virtio_transport_release+0x34/0x330 [vmw_vsock_virtio_transport_common]

    but task is already holding lock:
    ffff88803597ce10 (sk_lock-AF_VSOCK){+.+.}, at: __vsock_release+0x3f/0x130 [vsock]

    other info that might help us debug this:
     Possible unsafe locking scenario:

           CPU0
           ----
      lock(sk_lock-AF_VSOCK);
      lock(sk_lock-AF_VSOCK);

     *** DEADLOCK ***

     May be due to missing lock nesting notation

    2 locks held by python3/872:
