Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: hci_core: Fix race condition during device registration
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 08:55:09 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7f282e86-b9fa-4a3d-8dea-208975771b35@mail.kernel.org> (raw)
From: Aleksandr Nogikh <nogikh@google.com>
In hci_register_dev(), the power_on work item is queued to
hdev->req_workqueue before initializing hdev->adv_monitors_idr and
registering the MSFT extension via msft_register(). For devices marked with
quirks such as HCI_QUIRK_RAW_DEVICE, the HCI_UNCONFIGURED flag is set on
the device. When the power_on work item runs concurrently on another CPU,
hci_power_on() detects that the device is unconfigured and immediately
invokes hci_dev_do_close(), which calls msft_do_close().
Concurrently, msft_register() allocates the msft structure and exposes it
to hdev->msft_data prior to calling mutex_init(&msft->filter_lock). If
msft_do_close() executes while hdev->msft_data is already assigned but the
mutex has not yet been initialized, mutex_lock(&msft->filter_lock) operates
on an uninitialized mutex, triggering a DEBUG_LOCKS warning:
DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->magic != lock)
WARNING: kernel/locking/mutex.c:625 at __mutex_lock_common

</TASK>
Fix this by moving the queue_work() call in hci_register_dev() to after
idr_init(&hdev->adv_monitors_idr) and msft_register(hdev) so that device
structures and extensions are fully initialized before asynchronous tasks
can access them. Additionally, assign hdev->msft_data in msft_register()
only after mutex_init(&msft->filter_lock) has completed.
