We have the following call path: | hci_send_monitor_ctrl_event() | read_lock(&hci_sk_list.lock); | | hci_send_to_channel() | read_lock(&hci_sk_list.lock); So both functions acquire the same read_lock. If a write comes along between the first read_lock() and second read_lock() then we have a deadlock because the write_lock() will lock down further readers from acquiring the read-lock until the writer completed its task. This recursive locking was introduced in 38ceaa00d02d ("Bluetooth: Add support for sending MGMT commands and events to monitor").
