Hi Romain,

the patch below should cover the issue you see. Would you mind testing it?

Thanks

The code paths protected by the socket-lock do not use or modify the
socket in a non-atomic fashion. The actions pertaining the socket do not
even need to be handled as an atomic operation. Thus, the socket-lock
can be safely ignored.

This fixes a bug regarding scheduling in atomic as the callback function
may be invoked in interrupt context.
