Hi,

looking at the patch, it sleeps in an interrupt handler (or equivalent)
in two places:

@@ -933,6 +933,8 @@ static void btusb_intr_complete(struct urb *urb)
                if (err != -EPERM && err != -ENODEV)

                                   urb, -err);
+               if (err != -EPERM)

@@ -1331,10 +1335,13 @@ static void btusb_tx_complete(struct urb *urb)

As __cancel_work_timer can be called from hci_cmd_sync_cancel() this is
just not
an approach you can take. It looks like asynchronously canceling the
scheduled work
would result in a race, so I would for now just revert.

What issue exactly is this trying to fix or improve?
