[PATCH] Bluetooth: hci_sync: Protect UUID list traversal

[PATCH] Bluetooth: hci_sync: Protect UUID list traversal

[Chengfeng Ye]

The hci_sync conversion moved class-of-device and EIR generation from an
HCI request built under hdev->lock to asynchronous command sync work.
The worker holds hdev->req_lock, but that lock does not serialize access
to hdev->uuids against add_uuid() and remove_uuid(), which update the
list under hdev->lock.

The following interleaving can therefore occur:

  CPU0 (command sync work)       CPU1 (management socket)
  fetch uuid from the list
                                list_del(&uuid->list)
                                kfree(uuid)
  read uuid->size

KASAN reports the resulting use-after-free:

Hold hdev->lock while generating and committing the class-of-device and
EIR snapshots.  Release it before sending an HCI command, so controller
waits do not happen under the device lock.  This protects all UUID list
walks in these paths and restores the serialization lost in the command
sync conversion.
