Do you mean the following?
There is socket 1 with state lock (S1) and queue lock (Q2), and socket
2 with state lock (S2) and queue lock (Q2). unix_dgram_sendmsg lock
S1->Q1. And sk_diag_dump_icons locks Q1->S2.
If yes, then this looks pretty much as deadlock. Consider that 2
unix_dgram_sendmsg in 2 different threads lock S1 and S2 respectively.
Now 2  sk_diag_dump_icons in 2 different threads lock Q1 and Q2
respectively. Now sk_diag_dump_icons want to lock S's, and
unix_dgram_sendmsg want to lock Q's. Nobody can proceed.
