This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled Bluetooth: Fix l2cap_disconnect_req deadlock to the 4.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: bluetooth-fix-l2cap_disconnect_req-deadlock.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 27a30f66df386d641b79f804350807a5a0340d74 Author: Ying Hsu <yinghsu@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed May 31 03:44:56 2023 +0000 Bluetooth: Fix l2cap_disconnect_req deadlock [ Upstream commit 02c5ea5246a44d6ffde0fddebfc1d56188052976 ] L2CAP assumes that the locks conn->chan_lock and chan->lock are acquired in the order conn->chan_lock, chan->lock to avoid potential deadlock. For example, l2sock_shutdown acquires these locks in the order: mutex_lock(&conn->chan_lock) l2cap_chan_lock(chan) However, l2cap_disconnect_req acquires chan->lock in l2cap_get_chan_by_scid first and then acquires conn->chan_lock before calling l2cap_chan_del. This means that these locks are acquired in unexpected order, which leads to potential deadlock: l2cap_chan_lock(c) mutex_lock(&conn->chan_lock) This patch releases chan->lock before acquiring the conn_chan_lock to avoid the potential deadlock.
