[PATCH bluetooth] Bluetooth: cancel devcoredump work during device teardown
From: Tristan Madani
Date: Fri Aug 14 2026 - 19:17:10 EST
From: Tristan Madani <tristan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
hci_devcd_setup() initializes dump_timeout and dump_rx work items
during device allocation, but hci_unregister_dev() does not cancel
them before the device is freed. If a devcoredump is in progress
when the device is unregistered, the dump_timeout delayed work timer
remains active. When it fires after hci_release_dev() frees the
hci_dev struct, it accesses freed memory.
Add hci_devcd_destroy() to disable dump work items and purge the
dump queue, called from hci_unregister_dev() alongside the existing
disable_work_sync() calls.
Fixes: 9695ef876fd1 ("Bluetooth: Add support for hci devcoredump")
