Yes, that's what I got.

Could be acceptable, but I prefer to avoid.

The h2g/g2h is in the vsock core, and the hyperv_transport is one of the g2h
transports available.
If we have a L1 VM with hyperv_transport (G2H) to communicate with L0 and a
nested KVM VM (L2) we need to load also vhost_transport (H2G). If the
user creates a socket and it tries the following:
connect(fd, <2,1234>) - socket assigned to hyperv_transport (because
the user wants to reach the host using CID_HOST)
fails
connect(fd, <3,1234>) - socket must be reassigned to vhost_transport
(because the user wants to reach a nested guest)
So, I think in this case we can have the deadlock.

Maybe because vmci_transport (the first transport implemented) doesn't
require holding lock during the release.
Okay, so I'll test this patch and then I'll send it out for reviews.
Thanks for the feedback,
