[ Upstream commit9707a015fe] 6lowpan.c has theoretically conflicting lock orderings, which lockdep complains about: a) rtnl_lock > hdev->workqueue from 6lowpan.c:delete_netdev -> rtnl_lock -> device_del -> put_device(parent) -> hci_release_dev -> destroy_workqueue b) hdev->workqueue > l2cap_conn->lock > chan->lock > rtnl_lock from hci_rx_work -> 6lowpan.c:chan_ready_cb -> lowpan_register_netdev, ifup -> rtnl_lock Actual deadlock appears not possible, as hci_rx_work is disabled and l2cap_conn flushed already on hdev unregister. Hence, do minimal thing to make lockdep happy by breaking chain a) by holding hdev refcount until after netdev put in 6lowpan.c. Fixes the lockdep complaint: WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected. kworker/0:1/11 is trying to acquire lock: ffff8880023b3940 ((wq_completion)hci0#2){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: touch_wq_lockdep_map+0x8b/0x130 but task is already holding lock: ffffffff95e4f9c0 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: lowpan_unregister_netdev+0xd/0x30 Workqueue: events delete_netdev Signed-off-by: Pauli Virtanen <pav@iki.fi> Signed-off-by: Luiz Augusto von Dentz <luiz.von.dentz@intel.com> Stable-dep-of:6fef032af0("Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix use-after-free in l2cap_sock_new_connection_cb()") Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
