Subject: Re: [syzbot] WARNING: ODEBUG bug in mgmt_index_removed

I guess that, since hci_pi(sk)->hdev = hdev in hci_sock_bind() does not check whether a hdev
is already associated with some sk, it is possible that multiple sk are bound to the same hdev.
As a result, lock_sock(sk) is not sufficient for serializing access to hdev, and
hci_dev_lock(hdev) is needed when calling mgmt_index_*(hdev) functions.

If my guess above is correct, I think that what syzbot is telling us is that, due to lack of
serialization via hci_dev_lock(hdev), setting of HCI_MGMT flag from mgmt_init_hdev() from
hci_mgmt_cmd() from hci_sock_sendmsg() is racing with testing of HCI_MGMT flag from
mgmt_index_removed() from hci_sock_bind().

I suggest you to explicitly use lockdep_assert_held() in Bluethooth code for clarifying what
locks need to be held, instead of continue using racy operations like hci_dev_test_and_set_flag()
without holding appropriate locks.

  if (!test_bit(HCI_INIT, &hdev->flags) &&

    hci_dev_lock(hdev);
    mgmt_index_removed(hdev) {
      if (!hci_dev_test_flag(hdev, HCI_MGMT))
        return;
      cancel_delayed_work_sync(&hdev->discov_off);
    }
    hci_dev_unlock(hdev);
  }
}

    err = hci_mgmt_cmd(chan, sk, skb) {
      if (hdev && chan->hdev_init) // chan->hdev_init == mgmt_init_hdev
