Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: fix oops in rfcomm tty code (v2)

Hi,

This is a resend of a patch I sent earlier. It fixes a reproducible
oops (see http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/13/89 for test case), and I'd
be very happy for some feedback from Bluetooth people. Can this be
included for testing somewhere? I don't have any bluetooth devices
myself, so all my testing is limited to creating/releasing devices
with ioctl (I'm not sure that's good enough).

Dave: I have extended the rfcomm_dev_lock to include all the setup and
teardown of a single device. On second thought, it doesn't really make
sense to use a separate lock for that. May I have your opinion on this
second version? (I've fixed the comments/BUG_ON that you pointed out.)


Vegard

It turns out that the following sequence of actions will reproduce the
oops:

  1. Create a new rfcomm device (using RFCOMMCREATEDEV ioctl)
  2. (Try to) open the device
  3. Release the rfcomm device (using RFCOMMRELEASEDEV ioctl)

At this point, the "rfcomm?" tty is still in use, but the device is gone
from the internal rfcomm list, so the device id can be reused.

  4. Create a new rfcomm device with the same device id as before

And now kobject will complain that the tty already exists.

(See http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/13/89 for a reproducible test-case.)

This patch attempts to correct this by only removing the device from the
internal rfcomm list of devices at the final unregister, so that the id
won't get reused until the device has been completely destructed.

This should be safe as the RFCOMM_TTY_RELEASED bit will be set for the
device and prevent the device from being reopened after it has been
released.

We also fix a race (which would lead to the same oops) by including the
tty setup/teardown code in the rfcomm_dev_lock, the lock protecting the
list of devices.

Thanks to Dave Young for additional suggestions.
