From: Andrei Emeltchenko <andrei.emeltchenko@xxxxxxxxx> Yet another version of patches fixing kernel crash in RFCOMM / L2CAP. *v4: taken Gustavo comments about timer HZ -> HZ/5 Do not delete l2cap channel and socket sk when sk is owned by user. To delete l2cap channel standard timer is used. lock_sock and release_sock do not hold a normal spinlock directly but instead hold the owner field. This means bh_lock_sock can still execute even if the socket is "locked".

Then rfcomm thread tries to send RFCOMM UA which is reply to RFCOMM DISC and when de-referencing l2cap_conn crash happens.
