Hi Dave,

unfortunately I do have three more patches for the 2.6.30 release. The
guys from Nokia are heavily testing this release to make sure that even
the smallest regression or race condition is reported and fixed. And I
am thankful for this since some of these cases only happen with specific
devices out in the market. And while I own a lot of Bluetooth devices,
it is only a small portion :)

We do have a broken module reference counting that got introduced when
trying to fix a lifetime issue with the hci_dev structure. It races
against the sysfs handling inside the work queue. To fix this, split the
reference counting and let the work queue task hold its own.

We call hci_acl_connect_cancel() for an incoming connection. That is
just wrong since their is nothing to cancel. Incoming connections can be
either accepted or reject. Once accepted, their is nothing to cancel.
Only a disconnect would be working.

The security mode 3 with legacy devices triggered another regression
with the pairing timeout. So only use the pairing timeout if the
connection is fully connected. In the security mode 3 the pairing
happens between the connection attempt and completion. And that phase
uses a proper timeout already, so no need to add extra code for special
pairing timeout handling.

Regards

Marcel
