You are probably self-deadlocking on the netlink mutex (rtnl).
Is your netdevice_notifier handler calling rtnl_lock?

No, I'm just setting an error on all sockets, and sk_state_change()ing them, 
nothing that might sleep, AFAIK.

Even in that case, that wouldn't explain the interaction with hotplug.

I also forgot to say that if the application exists immediately after seeing 
the error on the socket, the problem doesn't show.

Thanks anyway,
Bye!
