The power_supply system seems to be triggering a lookup of battery 'capacity' in the input device. This calls into the driver, which deep down invokes more code in the 'hidp' module: hidp_get_raw_report() This function tries to communicate with the bluetooth device (keyboard in my case), but because the device is being 'torn down' such communication fails. Accordingly hidp_get_raw_report has a 5 second timeout ... so this function stalls for 5 seconds until that timeout occurs. I would guess that for some reason, removing the 'hid' or associated 'input' device is leading to the power_supply code wanting to lookup the battery capacity which introduces a 5 second wait. This would delay hidp_session by 5 seconds ... in the mean time allowing hci_unregister_dev() to win the race and hence the hci device is removed before the input & hid devices. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
