From: Johan Hedberg <johan.hedberg@xxxxxxxxx> The hci_conn objects don't have a dedicated lock themselves but rely on the caller to hold the hci_dev lock for most types of access. The hci_conn_timeout function does various operations on hci_conn but hasn't so far taken the hdev lock. The recent changes to do LE scanning before connect attempts added even more operations to hci_conn from hci_conn_timeout, thereby exposing race conditions such as the hci_conn being removed from the global list but another piece of code still managing to grab a reference to it. Here there's a timeout but an l2cap_sock_connect() call manages to race with the cleanup routine: [Oct21 08:14] l2cap_chan_timeout: chan ee4b12c0 state BT_CONNECT [ +0.000004] l2cap_chan_close: chan ee4b12c0 state BT_CONNECT [ +0.000002] l2cap_chan_del: chan ee4b12c0, conn f3141580, err 111, state BT_CONNECT [ +0.000002] l2cap_sock_teardown_cb: chan ee4b12c0 state BT_CONNECT [ +0.000005] l2cap_chan_put: chan ee4b12c0 orig refcnt 4 [ +0.000010] hci_conn_drop: hcon f53d56e0 orig refcnt 1 [ +0.000013] l2cap_chan_put: chan ee4b12c0 orig refcnt 3 [ +0.000063] hci_conn_timeout: hcon f53d56e0 state BT_CONNECT [ +0.000049] hci_conn_params_del: addr ee:0d:30:09:53:1f (type 1) [ +0.000002] hci_chan_list_flush: hcon f53d56e0 [ +0.000001] hci_chan_del: hci0 hcon f53d56e0 chan f4e7ccc0 [ +0.004528] l2cap_sock_create: sock e708fc00 [ +0.000023] l2cap_chan_create: chan ee4b1770 [ +0.000001] l2cap_chan_hold: chan ee4b1770 orig refcnt 1 [ +0.000002] l2cap_sock_init: sk ee4b3390 [ +0.000029] l2cap_sock_bind: sk ee4b3390 [ +0.000010] l2cap_sock_setsockopt: sk ee4b3390 [ +0.000037] l2cap_sock_connect: sk ee4b3390 [ +0.000002] l2cap_chan_connect: 00:02:72:d9:e5:8b -> ee:0d:30:09:53:1f (type 2) psm 0x00 [ +0.000002] hci_get_route: 00:02:72:d9:e5:8b -> ee:0d:30:09:53:1f [ +0.000001] hci_dev_hold: hci0 orig refcnt 8 [ +0.000003] hci_conn_hold: hcon f53d56e0 orig refcnt 0 Above the l2cap_chan_connect() shouldn't have been able to reach the hci_conn f53d56e0 anymore but since hci_conn_timeout didn't do proper locking that's not the case. The end result is a reference to hci_conn that's not in the conn_hash list, resulting in list corruption when trying to remove it later: [Oct21 08:15] l2cap_chan_timeout: chan ee4b1770 state BT_CONNECT [ +0.000004] l2cap_chan_close: chan ee4b1770 state BT_CONNECT [ +0.000003] l2cap_chan_del: chan ee4b1770, conn f3141580, err 111, state BT_CONNECT [ +0.000001] l2cap_sock_teardown_cb: chan ee4b1770 state BT_CONNECT [ +0.000005] l2cap_chan_put: chan ee4b1770 orig refcnt 4 [ +0.000002] hci_conn_drop: hcon f53d56e0 orig refcnt 1 [ +0.000015] l2cap_chan_put: chan ee4b1770 orig refcnt 3 [ +0.000038] hci_conn_timeout: hcon f53d56e0 state BT_CONNECT [ +0.000003] hci_chan_list_flush: hcon f53d56e0 [ +0.000002] hci_conn_hash_del: hci0 hcon f53d56e0 [ +0.000001] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ +0.000461] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1782 at lib/list_debug.c:56 __list_del_entry+0x3f/0x71() [ +0.000839] list_del corruption, f53d56e0->prev is LIST_POISON2 (00000200) This patch fixes the issue by adding the missing hci_dev locking to the hci_conn_timeout() function.
