Yes, I feel you!

We use lock_sock() also in the notifier which is called when someone 
removes the CAN interface.

But the other cases for e.g. set_sockopt() and for sendmsg() seem to be 
a common pattern to lock concurrent user space calls.

Your described case in the original post indeed shows that this might 
lead to a problem.

Hm, interesting idea.

But in which state will so->tx.state be here:

/* wait for complete transmission of current pdu */
err = wait_event_interruptible(so->wait, so->tx.state == ISOTP_IDLE);
if (err)
	goto err_out;


Should we better set the tx.state in the error case?

if (err) {
	so->tx.state = ISOTP_IDLE;
	goto err_out;
}

Best regards,
Oliver
