An RFCOMM connect() issued while a BR/EDR link is being authenticated
makes lockdep report a circular dependency, and the reported cycle is a
real AB/BA between rfcomm_mutex and hdev->lock.

rfcomm_security_cfm() is called from the HCI event path, which already
holds hdev->lock:

  hci_rx_work()
    hci_event_packet()
      hci_cc_read_enc_key_size()   [hdev->lock]
        hci_encrypt_cfm()          [hci_cb_list_lock]
          rfcomm_security_cfm()    [rfcomm_mutex]

while an RFCOMM connect() from userspace takes the same two locks the
other way round:

  rfcomm_sock_connect()
    rfcomm_dlc_open()              [rfcomm_mutex]
      __rfcomm_dlc_open()
        rfcomm_session_create()
          kernel_connect()
            l2cap_sock_connect()
              l2cap_chan_connect() [hdev->lock]

  WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
  kworker/u131:1/1128 is trying to acquire lock:
  rfcomm_mutex, at: rfcomm_security_cfm+0x31/0x3e0 [rfcomm]
  but task is already holding lock:
  hci_cb_list_lock, at: hci_cc_read_enc_key_size+0x1d2/0xcc0
  Chain exists of:
    rfcomm_mutex --> &hdev->lock --> hci_cb_list_lock

hci_auth_complete_evt() and hci_encrypt_change_evt() reach the callback
the same way.

Both orders have to be seen in the same boot, which is why a BR/EDR
connection alone is not enough to show it: a session set up by the
remote side is created by rfcomm_accept_connection() in krfcommd, which
calls kernel_accept() and never takes hdev->lock under rfcomm_mutex.
Connecting a device that authenticates and encrypts the link and then
calling connect() on an RFCOMM socket towards any address - the connect
does not have to succeed, the order is recorded before the page timeout
- reports it every time.

Only the session socket has to be connected with the lock held, and it
does not: nothing else can see the socket before it is put on the
session list.  So connect it first and take rfcomm_mutex afterwards,
which removes the rfcomm_mutex -> hdev->lock order for good, rather
than keeping the HCI event path out of rfcomm_mutex.

rfcomm_session_create() becomes rfcomm_session_connect(), which returns
the connected socket without touching the session list, and
rfcomm_dlc_open() adds the session once it holds the lock again.  If
another opener added a session for the same pair while this socket was
connecting, that session is used and this socket is dropped.
__rfcomm_dlc_open() now takes the session it should use, and its state
check runs after the lock is re-acquired, so a DLC that was opened or
closed in the meantime is still handled.

Over an existing ACL link the connection can complete before the
session reaches the list, and the wakeup from the socket callback is
then lost, so krfcommd is woken once the session is visible.

Connecting without the lock opens a window in which the socket can be
closed.  The DLC is not on a session yet, so rfcomm_dlc_close() finds
nothing to do and returns without touching it, and rfcomm_dlc_open()
would then attach a DLC whose owner is gone.  rfcomm_dlc_close() now
marks such a DLC with RFCOMM_CLOSED, and rfcomm_dlc_open() checks the
mark once it holds rfcomm_mutex again and drops the socket instead of
attaching the DLC.  The mark is cleared when an open starts, so a DLC
that is reused is not affected.  This covers both callers of
rfcomm_dlc_open(), the socket and the tty layer.

This lengthens paging and can increase the risk of a Page Timeout. The inquiry cache stores jiffies in __u32 timestamps, but its age helpers subtract them from unsigned long jiffies. INITIAL_JIFFIES casts -300 * HZ through unsigned int, so jiffies crosses 2^32 five minutes after boot on 64-bit systems. Assigning it to __u32 then drops the upper 32 bits. In one trace, a 7.6-second-old entry (HZ=1000) was reported as 2^32 + 7620 ticks old and rejected by hci_acl_create_conn_sync(). hci_inquiry() is affected by the same truncation when checking the whole cache. 32-bit systems are unaffected because unsigned long is 32 bits wide there. Use unsigned long for both timestamps so they have the same width as jiffies on 32-bit and 64-bit systems, and update the debugfs format specifier accordingly.

'uuid_count' member of struct 'discovery_state' is assigned and read
without any locks, so there is a chance of situation when
uuid_count != 0, but uuids is NULL and there will be NULL pointer
dereference.

Possible race:

  'hci_discovery_filter_clear'
    hdev->discovery.uuid_count = 0;
      <----------------------preempted----------------------------->

                          hdev->discovery.uuid_count = uuid_count;

    spin_lock(&hdev->discovery.lock);
    kfree(hdev->discovery.uuids);
    hdev->discovery.uuids = NULL;
    spin_unlock(&hdev->discovery.lock);

Now uuids == NULL and uuid_count != 0.
So 'mgmt_device_found' -> 'is_filter_match' -> 'eir_has_uuids' receives
non consistent discovery state, where NULL dereference of uuids happens.

To fix it let's add discovery.lock around every read/write of uuid_count,
uuids pair of struct members. It is also important to assign uuid_count
value only after success kmemdup() allocation in
start_service_discovery(), otherwise uuids is NULL, because kmemdup failed,
but uuid_count is already assigned to non zero value.

Bluetooth: hci_event: Introduce handle_ev_vendor() for HCI_EV_VENDOR 2026-08-07T19:40:27+00:00 Zijun Hu zijun.hu@oss.qualcomm.com 2026-08-02T06:31:41+00:00 0bd606b31d40dceb718bf22e3ce7b4cff7e34bf6 Introduce the hook to solve issues below: msft_vendor_evt(), the current handler for all VSEs, is unsuitable since: - many VSEs are not MSFT ones; - it always corrupts the non-MSFT VSEs by calling skb_pull_data() once the MSFT extension is enabled. Several issues are caused by many transport drivers pre-processing VSEs in their RX path, often an IRQ-disabled atomic context. Take the two typical cases below as examples: Case 1: // no btmon log, no way to reach userspace Step 1: handle and free @original_skb directly Case 2: // hurts performance and consumes GFP_ATOMIC memory Step 1: cloned_skb = skb_clone(original_skb, GFP_ATOMIC); // the VSE is handled here Step 2: handle and free @cloned_skb Step 3: hci_recv_frame(hdev, original_skb); // already handled, but re-enters the stack's event-handling path Step 4: hci_event_packet(hdev, original_skb); Fix by introducing the hook with usage: 1) the transport driver registers the hook for VSEs of interest; 2) the stack calls it in process context, handling the VSE like any other event: - if interested, handle the VSE - no need to free it - and return true; - otherwise return false.

Introduce the hook to solve issues below:

msft_vendor_evt(), the current handler for all VSEs, is unsuitable
since:
- many VSEs are not MSFT ones;
- it always corrupts the non-MSFT VSEs by calling skb_pull_data()
  once the MSFT extension is enabled.

Several issues are caused by many transport drivers pre-processing
VSEs in their RX path, often an IRQ-disabled atomic context. Take
the two typical cases below as examples:

Case 1:
  // no btmon log, no way to reach userspace
  Step 1: handle and free @original_skb directly

Case 2:
  // hurts performance and consumes GFP_ATOMIC memory
  Step 1: cloned_skb = skb_clone(original_skb, GFP_ATOMIC);
  // the VSE is handled here
  Step 2: handle and free @cloned_skb
  Step 3: hci_recv_frame(hdev, original_skb);
  // already handled, but re-enters the stack's event-handling path
  Step 4: hci_event_packet(hdev, original_skb);

Fix by introducing the hook with usage:
1) the transport driver registers the hook for VSEs of interest;
2) the stack calls it in process context, handling the VSE like any
   other event:
   - if interested, handle the VSE - no need to free it - and
     return true;
   - otherwise return false.
