rfcomm_dev_get() can return a rfcomm_dev reference for a device for which destruction may be commencing. This can happen on tty destruction, which calls rfcomm_tty_cleanup(), the last port reference may have been released but RFCOMM_TTY_RELEASED was not set. The following race is also possible: CPU 0 | CPU 1 | rfcomm_release_dev rfcomm_dev_get | . spin_lock | . dev = __rfcomm_dev_get | . if dev | . if test_bit(TTY_RELEASED) | . | !test_and_set_bit(TTY_RELEASED) | tty_port_put <<<< last reference else | tty_port_get | The reference acquire is bogus because destruction will commence with the release of the last reference. Ignore the external state change of TTY_RELEASED and instead rely on the reference acquire itself to determine if the reference is valid.
