It looks to me like the issue is:
setsockopt(nbd_sock) -> takes sk_lock -> copy_from_user -> page fault ->
mmap_lock -> allocation needs reclaim -> fs_reclaim -> fs does IO -> nbd
grabs sk_lock -> deadlock
Looks longstanding. No idea why it's finding it only now.
I would suggest something like this, if the diagnosis is correct
(plus adapting all callers):
diff --git a/net/core/sock.c b/net/core/sock.c

I would send it, but I would like to get some sort of repro first, at least
on my end.

Another funny case that came to me just now:
sendmsg(nbd_sock) -> lock_sock(nbd_sock) -> tcp_sendmsg_locked(nbd_sock) ->
copy_from_user() -> if VMA is backed by file on nbd bdev -> ... ->
lock_sock(nbd_sock)
Right? Is there something extremely crucial that I'm missing?
