3.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jukka Taimisto <jtt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 7ab56c3a6eccb215034b0cb096e0313441cbf2a4 upstream. A deadlock occurs when PDU containing invalid SMP opcode is received on Security Manager Channel over LE link and conn->pending_rx_work worker has not run yet. When LE link is created l2cap_conn_ready() is called and before returning it schedules conn->pending_rx_work worker to hdev->workqueue. Incoming data to SMP fixed channel is handled by l2cap_recv_frame() which calls smp_sig_channel() to handle the SMP PDU. If smp_sig_channel() indicates failure l2cap_conn_del() is called to delete the connection. When deleting the connection, l2cap_conn_del() purges the pending_rx queue and calls flush_work() to wait for the pending_rx_work worker to complete. Since incoming data is handled by a worker running from the same workqueue as the pending_rx_work is being scheduled on, we will deadlock on waiting for pending_rx_work to complete. This patch fixes the deadlock by calling cancel_work_sync() instead of flush_work().
