[PATCH] bluetooth: Fix NULL pointer dereference issue

From: Yuri Ershov <hidden>
Date: 2010-10-28 10:52:54
Subsystem: bluetooth subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Marcel Holtmann, Luiz Augusto von Dentz, Linus Torvalds

This patch fixes NULL pointer dereference at running test with
connect-transfer-disconnect in loop. The problem conditions are the
following: there are 2 BT devices. The first one listens and
receives (l2test -r), the second one makes "connect-disconnect-
connect..." sequence (l2test -c -b 1000 -i hci0 -P 10 <addr>).
After some time this will cause the race between functions
bt_accept_dequeue and l2cap_chan_del. The function l2cap_chan_del
sets the socket state to BT_CLOSED, unlinks and kills the socket
in the middle of bt_accept_dequeue, then at running the removed code
kernel oops appears.
