Re: [PATCH v4 1/2] Bluetooth: Remove usage of __cancel_delayed_work()

Hi All,

__cancel_delayed_work() is being used in some paths where we cannot
sleep waiting for the delayed work to finish. However, that function
might return while the timer is running and the work will be queued
again. Replace the calls with safer cancel_delayed_work() version
which spins until the timer handler finishes on other CPUs and
cancels the delayed work.

I have some questions about delayed_work usage:

When setting timer with l2cap_set_timer() we hold_chan if work may be
running. So if previous work is cancelled OK we do not hold chan.

Didn't we miss hold_chan here?

Then in l2cap_clear_chan we put_chan if work cancelled OK, otherwise
put_chan is done in delayed_work so we always put_chan.

I am actually seeing some crashes in rare cases related to delayed work.
