[PATCH v4 2/2] Bluetooth: btusb: Fix leaked runtime PM reference in btusb_reset
From: Jiajia Liu
Date: Sun Aug 23 2026 - 21:15:31 EST
btusb_reset calls usb_autopm_get_interface to resume the device
before queuing a reset of it, but never calls the matching
usb_autopm_put_interface.
usb_queue_reset_device ends up in usb_reset_device(), and since
btusb provides no pre_reset/post_reset callbacks the interface is
merely unbound and rebound: the interface device object survives
this cycle, and so does its PM usage count, which is not cleared
when the driver is unbound.
As a result every reset permanently leaks a PM usage reference,
preventing the interface from being runtime suspended again until
it is unbound.
Set BTUSB_RESET flag before usb_queue_reset_device so that
btusb_disconnect drops the reference. If the flag is already set,
drop one reference.

Changes in v4:
- do not return if BTUSB_RESET is set in case the first reset failed.
(sashiko)
Changes in v3:
- handle multiple reset requests int btusb_reset (sashiko)
set BTUSB_RESET after usb_autopm_get_interface. If the flag is
already set, drop newly acquired reference and return.
Changes in v2:
- Fix the race window (sashiko)
set BTUSB_USB_RESET_ACTIVE flag before usb_queue_reset_device.
Changes in v1:
- add usb_autopm_put_interface after usb_queue_reset_device
