[PATCH v3 6/7] Bluetooth: hci_sync: fix hci_conn_del() use in hci_le_create_conn_sync

From: Pauli Virtanen

Date: Sun Jun 28 2026 - 08:15:10 EST


hci_conn_del() caller must hold hdev->lock, check the conn was not
concurrently deleted, and usually inform socket the conn is going to be
deleted.

Use hci_abort_conn_sync() instead of calling hci_conn_del() without
locks etc.

Fixes: 8e8b92ee60de5 ("Bluetooth: hci_sync: Add hci_le_create_conn_sync")

Notes:
v3:
- use hci_abort_conn_sync instead of lock + hci_conn_valid + hci_conn_del
