[PATCH v4 4/4] Bluetooth: btintel_pcie: use device_schedule_reprobe() after reset

From: Daniel Golle

Date: Sat Oct 17 2026 - 04:57:58 EST


The reset work re-probes its own device with device_reprobe() after an
FLR or a PLDR, so .remove() runs inside it. That needs the
current_work() check in .remove(), and 'data' must not be touched
after the call.

Schedule the re-probe with device_schedule_reprobe(). .remove() then
runs from the driver core's work, the current_work() check goes, and
disable_work_sync(&data->reset_work) waits for the reset work before
'data' is freed. Until the deferred detach 'data' stays alive but idle:
RECOVERY_IN_PROGRESS fails send_frame and coalesces further resets,
interrupts are masked, and the dump and rfkill workers stay disabled.
If scheduling fails in the FLR path, the reset work re-enables them as
on any FLR failure. The PLDR re-probe of the Wi-Fi sibling, a
different device, is unchanged.

v4: rebased onto bluetooth-next for its hardware rfkill work; commit
message updated for the reworked helper
v3: rebased onto bluetooth-next, whose btintel_pcie has four dump
workers (coredump/hwexp/fwtrigger/mbox) rather than the single one
the mainline snapshot v2 targeted
v2: reconciled to the current tree and adapted the commit message
v1: initial RFC
