If hci_unregister_dev() frees the hci_dev object but hci_suspend_notifier may still be accessing it, it can cause the program to crash. Here's the call trace: <4>[102152.653246] Call Trace: <4>[102152.653254] hci_suspend_sync+0x109/0x301 [bluetooth] <4>[102152.653259] hci_suspend_dev+0x78/0xcd [bluetooth] <4>[102152.653263] hci_suspend_notifier+0x42/0x7a [bluetooth] <4>[102152.653268] notifier_call_chain+0x43/0x6b <4>[102152.653271] __blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x48/0x69 <4>[102152.653273] __pm_notifier_call_chain+0x22/0x39 <4>[102152.653276] pm_suspend+0x287/0x57c <4>[102152.653278] state_store+0xae/0xe5 <4>[102152.653281] kernfs_fop_write+0x109/0x173 <4>[102152.653284] __vfs_write+0x16f/0x1a2 <4>[102152.653287] ? selinux_file_permission+0xca/0x16f <4>[102152.653289] ? security_file_permission+0x36/0x109 <4>[102152.653291] vfs_write+0x114/0x21d <4>[102152.653293] __x64_sys_write+0x7b/0xdb <4>[102152.653296] do_syscall_64+0x59/0x194 <4>[102152.653299] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x5c/0xc1 This patch holds the reference count of the hci_dev object while processing it in hci_suspend_notifier to avoid potential crash caused by the race condition.
