[PATCH RT 10/15] Bluetooth: avoid recursive locking in hci_send_to_channel()

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Fri Dec 01 2017 - 19:05:37 EST


4.9.65-rt57-rc2 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Mart reported a deadlock in -RT in the call path:
hci_send_monitor_ctrl_event() -> hci_send_to_channel()

because both functions acquire the same read lock hci_sk_list.lock. This
is also a mainline issue because the qrwlock implementation is writer
fair (the traditional rwlock implementation is reader biased).

To avoid the deadlock there is now __hci_send_to_channel() which expects
the readlock to be held.
