Well its reverting too much but its also looking pretty bogus to me - /* Stop timer, it might be running */ - del_timer_sync(&hdev->cmd_timer); - if (!test_and_clear_bit(HCI_UP, &hdev->flags)) { hci_req_unlock(hdev); return 0; So you've now got a path where you leave the timer running and didn't before - not it appears one that is a good idea. Certainly not the kind of change that should be considered for a regression fix for an rc kernel. It's far too big a behavioural change to be safe.
