Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: RFCOMM: avoid socket lock inversion in listener cleanup
Author: jcperdomo100@gmail.com
#syz test
rfcomm_sock_cleanup_listen() closes unaccepted child sockets through
rfcomm_sock_close(), which takes the RFCOMM socket lock before
rfcomm_dlc_close() acquires rfcomm_mutex.
The RFCOMM worker takes these locks in reverse order: it holds
rfcomm_mutex while rfcomm_connect_ind() or a DLC state callback acquires
an RFCOMM socket lock. Lockdep therefore reports a possible deadlock.
Remove the redundant socket locking from rfcomm_sock_close(). Its only
caller receives the dequeued child with a reference held, and the
function is already documented as requiring an unlocked socket. This
also matches rfcomm_sock_shutdown(), which drops the socket lock before
closing the DLC.
