[PATCH] Bluetooth: hci_serdev: Init hci_uart proto_lock to avoid oops

From: Lukas Wunner
Date: Thu Nov 16 2017 - 18:55:18 EST


John Stultz reports a boot time crash with the HiKey board (which uses
hci_serdev) occurring in hci_uart_tx_wakeup(). That function is
contained in hci_ldisc.c, but also called from the newer hci_serdev.c.
It acquires the proto_lock in struct hci_uart and it turns out that we
forgot to init the lock in the serdev code path, thus causing the crash.

John bisected the crash to commit 67d2f8781b9f ("Bluetooth: hci_ldisc:
Allow sleeping while proto locks are held"), but the issue was present
before and the commit merely exposed it. (Perhaps by luck, the crash
did not occur with rwlocks.)

Init the proto_lock in the serdev code path to avoid the oops.

@Rob (and everyone else): I'm not sure if this is in fact the correct
approach, or if we should instead duplicate hci_uart_tx_wakeup() in
hci_serdev.c (sans locking?), much as we've duplicated a lot of other
functions there. Let me know what your preference is. Thanks!
