Yes. For this cases this is enough. But proper refcounting is always
better than this "effects" ;)

I have changed the patch so that it only prevents l2cap_chan_del
-		l2cap_chan_del(sk, ECONNREFUSED);
+		/* delete l2cap channel if sk is not owned by user */
+		if (!sock_owned_by_user(sk))
+			l2cap_chan_del(sk, ECONNREFUSED);

Then still l2cap_sock_kill(sk) removes sk but in the second patch sk is
hold with sock_hold(sk) until rfcomm is still processing packet.

Added.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Bluetooth: Check sk is not owned before freeing l2cap_conn

Check that socket sk is not locked in user process before removing
l2cap connection handler.

krfcommd kernel thread may be preempted with l2cap tasklet which remove
l2cap_conn structure. If krfcommd is in process of sending of RFCOMM reply
(like "RFCOMM UA" reply to "RFCOMM DISC") then kernel crash happens.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Bluetooth: Prevent sk freeing in tasklet using refcount

Socket sk may be freed in tasklet while still be in use in krfcommd
process. Use refcount to mark sk as used.
