From: Luiz Augusto von Dentz <luiz.von.dentz@xxxxxxxxx> Due to change to switch to use lock_sock inside rfcomm_sk_state_change the socket shutdown/release procedure can cause a deadlock: rfcomm_sock_shutdown(): lock_sock(); __rfcomm_sock_close(): rfcomm_dlc_close(): __rfcomm_dlc_close(): rfcomm_dlc_lock(); rfcomm_sk_state_change(): lock_sock(); To fix this when the call __rfcomm_sock_close is now done without holding the lock_sock since rfcomm_dlc_lock exists to protect the dlc data there is no need to use lock_sock in that code path.
