[PATCH v4] Bluetooth: Fix l2cap_disconnect_req deadlock

From: Ying Hsu
Date: Tue May 30 2023 - 22:38:42 EST


L2CAP assumes that the locks conn->chan_lock and chan->lock are
acquired in the order conn->chan_lock, chan->lock to avoid
potential deadlock.
For example, l2sock_shutdown acquires these locks in the order:
mutex_lock(&conn->chan_lock)
l2cap_chan_lock(chan)

However, l2cap_disconnect_req acquires chan->lock in
l2cap_get_chan_by_scid first and then acquires conn->chan_lock
before calling l2cap_chan_del. This means that these locks are
acquired in unexpected order, which leads to potential deadlock:
l2cap_chan_lock(c)
mutex_lock(&conn->chan_lock)

This patch releases chan->lock before acquiring the conn_chan_lock
to avoid the potential deadlock.
