With CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING, when creating a set of type bitmap:ip, adding
it to a set of type list:set and populating it from iptables SET target
triggers a kernel warning:
| WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
| 6.12.0-rc7-01692-g5e9a28f41134-dirty #594 Not tainted
| --------------------------------------------
| ping/4018 is trying to acquire lock:
| ffff8881094a6848 (&set->lock){+.-.}-{2:2}, at: ip_set_add+0x28c/0x360 [ip_set]
|
| but task is already holding lock:
| ffff88811034c048 (&set->lock){+.-.}-{2:2}, at: ip_set_add+0x28c/0x360 [ip_set]
This is a false alarm: ipset does not allow nested list:set type, so the
loop in list_set_kadd() can never encounter the outer set itself. No
other set type supports embedded sets, so this is the only case to
consider.
To avoid the false report, create a distinct lock class for list:set
type ipset locks.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
