This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled Bluetooth: hci_core: cancel all works upon hci_unregister_dev() to the 6.1-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-hci_core-cancel-all-works-upon-hci_unregis.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit fe658a3f9533ef1eca9e35ef3d930477c2ba9d55 Author: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jun 10 20:00:32 2024 +0900 Bluetooth: hci_core: cancel all works upon hci_unregister_dev() [ Upstream commit 0d151a103775dd9645c78c97f77d6e2a5298d913 ] syzbot is reporting that calling hci_release_dev() from hci_error_reset() due to hci_dev_put() from hci_error_reset() can cause deadlock at destroy_workqueue(), for hci_error_reset() is called from hdev->req_workqueue which destroy_workqueue() needs to flush. We need to make sure that hdev->{rx_work,cmd_work,tx_work} which are queued into hdev->workqueue and hdev->{power_on,error_reset} which are queued into hdev->req_workqueue are no longer running by the moment destroy_workqueue(hdev->workqueue); destroy_workqueue(hdev->req_workqueue); are called from hci_release_dev(). Call cancel_work_sync() on these work items from hci_unregister_dev() as soon as hdev->list is removed from hci_dev_list.
