    Bluetooth: Fix deadlock in l2cap_conn_del() · 7ab56c3a
    Jukka Taimisto authored
    A deadlock occurs when PDU containing invalid SMP opcode is received on
    Security Manager Channel over LE link and conn->pending_rx_work worker
    has not run yet.
    
    When LE link is created l2cap_conn_ready() is called and before
    returning it schedules conn->pending_rx_work worker to hdev->workqueue.
    Incoming data to SMP fixed channel is handled by l2cap_recv_frame()
    which calls smp_sig_channel() to handle the SMP PDU. If
    smp_sig_channel() indicates failure l2cap_conn_del() is called to delete
    the connection. When deleting the connection, l2cap_conn_del() purges
    the pending_rx queue and calls flush_work() to wait for the
    pending_rx_work worker to complete.
    
    Since incoming data is handled by a worker running from the same
    workqueue as the pending_rx_work is being scheduled on, we will deadlock
    on waiting for pending_rx_work to complete.
    
    This patch fixes the deadlock by calling cancel_work_sync() instead of
    flush_work().
