Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: hci_core: fix potential deadlock on &hci_dev_list_lock
Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2023 16:13:58 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230927161358.32353-1-dg573847474@gmail.com> (raw)

&hci_dev_list_lock is acquired under a2mp_chan_recv_cb(), which I
think should be a softirq context cb. So it seems that the
write_lock() on &hci_dev_list_lock should at least disable bh.
hci_register_dev() and hci_unregister_dev() are exactly that two
functions acquire &hci_dev_list_lock with write_lock(), and should
be called under process context without disable bh at most case.

Note that I am not sure whether this could happen at real, as I
am not sure whether the rx callback could be invoked during
register() and unregister().

<deadlock #1>
hci_register_dev()
--> write_lock(&hci_dev_list_lock)
<interrupt>
   --> a2mp_chan_recv_cb()
   --> a2mp_discover_req()
   --> read_lock(&hci_dev_list_lock)

<deadlock #2>
hci_unregister_dev()
--> write_lock(&hci_dev_list_lock)
<interrupt>
   --> a2mp_chan_recv_cb()
   --> a2mp_discover_req()
   --> read_lock(&hci_dev_list_lock)

This flaw was found by an experimental static analysis tool I am
developing for irq-related deadlock.

To prevent the potential problem, I change to write_lock_bh().
