Yes, without that line, connections do not disconnect. I have a
feeling that a freed session pointer is reused in one connection
direction and that accounts for the out by 1 refcnt value. I'll try to
repeat that analysis.

Indeed something is wrong, connection and disconnection procedures are
independent of each other so there should be no need to check the
initiator flag.

The above is my conservative fix. Here are 2 radical patches that
remove the refcnt and pass back the s pointer up the call stack to
prevent freed session pointers from being reused. I suspect reuse of
freed session pointers occurs in the original code, I have a debug
patch (not shown) that demonstrates reuse of the freed session
pointers.

Patch1: Remove refcnt...

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Bluetooth: remove rfcomm session refcnt

The rfcomm session refcnt is unworkable as it is hard
to predict the program flow during abnormal protocol conditions
so is easy for the refcnt to be out-of-sync.

Therefore, rely on the rfcomm state machine to absolutely delete
the rfcomm session at the right time.

Patch2: Pass the s pointer back up the call stack to prevent reuse of

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Bluetooth: return rfcomm session pointers to avoid freed
 session

Unfortunately, the design retains copies of the s rfcomm session
pointer in various code blocks and this invites the reuse of a
freed session pointer.

Therefore, return the rfcomm session pointer back up the call stack
to avoid reusing a freed rfcomm session pointer. When the rfcomm
session is deleted, NULL is passed up the call stack.

Please provide comments.
