[PATCH v1] Bluetooth: hci_release_dev: disable delayed devcoredump work
From: Aby Sam Ross
Date: Sun Mar 22 2026 - 17:09:25 EST
It is not necessary that the pending delayed hci devcoredump timeout
work, hdev->dump.dump_timeout, submitted to the hdev->workqueue by the
bluetooth devcoredump state machine,
hci_devcd_rx()
hci_devcd_handle_pkt_init()
will be reset by it or by the timeout func hci_devcd_timeout(), using
hci_devcd_reset(), before destroying the workqueue or before the hci
device is freed up in hci_release_dev().
In this bug the active delayed devcoredump timeout work's timer object
is active when the memory associated with the hci device is freed up in
hci_release_dev() causing the ODEBUG WARNING.
Make sure that the delayed devcoredump timeout work is disabled before
the hdev->workqueue is destroyed and before the hdev memory is freed in
hci_release_dev().
Tested the change with the syzbot reproducer that uses vhci device
locally on x86_64 and on syzbot portal as well. Ran kselftest with net
target.
