[PATCH] Bluetooth: Serialize SMP remote OOB data access

[PATCH] Bluetooth: Serialize SMP remote OOB data access

[Chengfeng Ye]

build_pairing_cmd() looks up remote OOB data and copies its contents
without holding hdev->lock, which serializes the list's writers. After
SMP finds an entry, a concurrent management Remove Remote OOB Data
command can unlink and free it before SMP reads its present flag or
copies its random and confirmation values. Removal can also invalidate
an entry while the lookup is still traversing the list.

KASAN reported:

Taking hdev->lock in build_pairing_cmd() would recurse for callers that
already hold it and invert the device-to-L2CAP lock order on the receive
path. Add a per-device remote_oob_lock instead, held across the SMP
lookup and copies and by the add, remove and clear helpers. Cover
initialization and in-place updates as well, so SMP cannot read partially
initialized or updated OOB values. Release the mutex on allocation
failure, preserving the existing error return.

The new critical sections acquire no device, connection or channel locks.
Writers retain their existing hdev->lock protection, which continues to
serialize the other readers without changing their locking or behavior.
