Hi Takashi, > hci_vhci driver creates a hci device object dynamically upon each > HCI_VENDOR_PKT write. Although it checks the already created object > and returns an error, it's still racy and may build multiple hci_dev > objects concurrently when parallel writes are performed, as the device > tracks only a single hci_dev object. > > This patch introduces a mutex to protect against the concurrent device > creations. > > Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/bluetooth/hci_vhci.c | 22 ++++++++++++++++------ > 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/bluetooth/hci_vhci.c b/drivers/bluetooth/hci_vhci.c > index f67ea1c090cb..39230f30f544 100644 > --- a/drivers/bluetooth/hci_vhci.c > +++ b/drivers/bluetooth/hci_vhci.c > @@ -50,6 +50,7 @@ struct vhci_data { > wait_queue_head_t read_wait; > struct sk_buff_head readq; > > + struct mutex open_mutex; > struct delayed_work open_timeout; > }; > > @@ -87,7 +88,7 @@ static int vhci_send_frame(struct hci_dev *hdev, struct sk_buff *skb) > return 0; > } > > -static int vhci_create_device(struct vhci_data *data, __u8 opcode) > +static int __vhci_create_device(struct vhci_data *data, __u8 opcode) > { > struct hci_dev *hdev; > struct sk_buff *skb; > @@ -151,6 +152,19 @@ static int vhci_create_device(struct vhci_data *data, __u8 opcode) > return 0; > } > > +static int vhci_create_device(struct vhci_data *data, __u8 opcode) > +{ > + int err; > + > + mutex_lock(&data->open_mutex); > + if (data->hdev) > + err = -EBADFD; I moved this check into __vhci_create_device after applying your patch to bluetooth-next tree. I think that is a lot cleaner and no need for you to respin it.
