On netbook platform( Eeepc 901; "Aspire One + Omiz Bluetooth dongle"), when using >bluez, such as paring, l2ping and rfcomm, kernel crashes easily.
I am using kernel 2.6.29.
I caught the crash messag:
BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#0, swapper/0
Bug: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00646733
I have done some research on the issue and found that at
hci_event.c: hci_disconn_complete_evt()
After
hci_conn_del_sysfs(conn)
The contents of conn maybe modified
Such as
conn->idle_timer
conn->disc_timer
and
conn->list
that leads to crash of kernel when run hci_conn_del(conn)
I worked a patch to run hci_conn_del_sysfs after hci_conn_del and find that the issue can be fixed. Some one can tell me whether the patch is ok, and the root cause of the issue. Thanks! :)
