[PATCH 6.12.y] Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix deadlock in l2cap_conn_del()
From: Wenshan Lan
Date: Mon May 11 2026 - 03:55:08 EST
From: Hyunwoo Kim <imv4bel@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 00fdebbbc557a2fc21321ff2eaa22fd70c078608 ]
l2cap_conn_del() calls cancel_delayed_work_sync() for both info_timer
and id_addr_timer while holding conn->lock. However, the work functions
l2cap_info_timeout() and l2cap_conn_update_id_addr() both acquire
conn->lock, creating a potential AB-BA deadlock if the work is already
executing when l2cap_conn_del() takes the lock.
Move the work cancellations before acquiring conn->lock and use
disable_delayed_work_sync() to additionally prevent the works from
being rearmed after cancellation, consistent with the pattern used in
hci_conn_del().
