[PATCH v2] Bluetooth: hci_uart: fix race during initialization

From: Arseniy Krasnov
Date: Tue Dec 17 2024 - 03:12:40 EST


'hci_register_dev()' calls power up function, which is executed by
kworker - 'hci_power_on()'. This function does access to bluetooth chip
using callbacks from 'hci_ldisc.c', for example 'hci_uart_send_frame()'.
Now 'hci_uart_send_frame()' checks 'HCI_UART_PROTO_READY' bit set, and
if not - it fails. Problem is that 'HCI_UART_PROTO_READY' is set after
'hci_register_dev()', and there is tiny chance that 'hci_power_on()' will
be executed before setting this bit. In that case HCI init logic fails.

Patch moves setting of 'HCI_UART_PROTO_READY' before calling function
'hci_uart_register_dev()'.

Changelog v1->v2:
* Move 'set_bit()' before 'hci_uart_register_dev()' instead of
adding new bit 'HCI_UART_PROTO_INIT'.
