[PATCH v2 1/1] Bluetooth: fix race condition in hci_cmd_sync_clear

From: Min Li
Date: Sat Mar 04 2023 - 08:51:01 EST


There is a potential race condition in hci_cmd_sync_work and
hci_cmd_sync_clear, and could lead to use-after-free. For instance,
hci_cmd_sync_work is added to the 'req_workqueue' after cancel_work_sync
The entry of 'cmd_sync_work_list' may be freed in hci_cmd_sync_clear, and
causing kernel panic when it is used in 'hci_cmd_sync_work'.

Here's the call trace:
