Hi Luiz,
The proposal solves the deadlock but might introduce other problems as
it breaks the order of l2cap_chan_del.
There are another way to resolve the deadlock:
```
@@ -4663,7 +4663,9 @@ static inline int l2cap_disconnect_req(struct
l2cap_conn *conn,
chan->ops->set_shutdown(chan);
+ l2cap_chan_unlock(chan);
mutex_lock(&conn->chan_lock);
+ l2cap_chan_lock(chan);
l2cap_chan_del(chan, ECONNRESET);
mutex_unlock(&conn->chan_lock);
```
If you're okay with it, I'll do some verification and post a full patch.
Best regards,
Ying
