[PATCH v1] Bluetooth: Fix race condition in handling NOP command

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



For NOP command, need to cancel work scheduled on cmd_timer,
on receiving command status or commmand complete event.

Below use case might lead to race condition multiple when NOP
commands are queued sequentially:

hci_cmd_work() {
   if (atomic_read(&hdev->cmd_cnt) {
            .
            .
            .
      atomic_dec(&hdev->cmd_cnt);
      hci_send_frame(hdev,...);
      schedule_delayed_work(&hdev->cmd_timer,...);
   }
}

On receiving event for first NOP, the work scheduled on hdev->cmd_timer
is not cancelled and  second NOP is dequeued and sent to controller.

While waiting for an event for second NOP command, work scheduled on
cmd_timer for first NOP can get scheduled, resulting in sending third
NOP command not waiting for an event for second NOP. This might cause
issues at controller side (like memory overrun, controller going
unresponsive) resulting in hci tx timeouts, hardware errors etc.
