I feel the above race map is not that right?

My understanding is as shown below.
CPU 0                                                    CPU 1
---                                                           ---
unregister_netdevice_many_notify()
                                                          xsk_bind()
netdev_lock_ops(dev);

mutex_lock(&xs->mutex);
                                                          netdev_lock_ops(dev);
xsk_notifier()
mutex_lock(&net->xdp.lock);
mutex_lock(&xs->mutex);

So ABBA lock case happens, IIUC.

Thanks,
Jason
