I've experienced a deadlock on shutdown using kernel 3.3 and tracked

Could you please attach deadlock dump?
Commit 09fd0de5bd8f8ef3317e5365f92f1a13dcd89aa9 introduced a deadlock:
bluetoothd calls ioctl HCIDEVDOWN
hci_sock_ioctl()
hci_dev_close()
hci_dev_do_close()
hci_dev_lock(hdev);
inquiry_cache_flush();
hci_conn_hash_flush();
hci_conn_del()
cancel_delayed_work_sync()
hci_conn_timeout()
hci_dev_lock(hdev); /* DEADLOCK */
I am actually not sure that hci_conn_timeout locks hdev. Why do you think
so?
By reading the source, printk and suffering through the deadlock. It's
especially painfull when using a bt-keyboard and systemd, because
systemd tries 4 times (~ some minutes) to kill bluetoothd before it
marks the service as failed and finally continues to shut down.
hci_conn_timeout does lock the device. See the source. But the problem
I think you need to check commit e72acc13c770a82b4ce4a07e9716f29320eae0f8

Bluetooth: Remove unneeded locking
We don't need locking hdev in hci_conn_timeout() since it doesn't
access any hdev's shared resources, it basically queues HCI commands.
So if the locks in hci_conn_timeout() aren't needed, your commit which
removes them should go to the stable tree because it fixes a painful
deadlock.
Oh, sorry, that patch is not from you, your first name is only similiar.
I've added the author to cc, just in case the lock might still be needed
in 3.3 if no other patches (from 3.4) besides that one are applied.
Regards,
Alexander
