Subject: [PATCH] bluetooth: Do not free priv until timer handler hasn't actually stopped using it
Date: Fri, 14 Feb 2014 15:35:48 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1392377748.5384.28.camel@tkhai> (raw)

Function del_timer() does not guarantee that timer was really deleted.
If the timer handler is beeing executed at the moment, the function
just returns. So, it's possible to use already freed memory in the handler:

[ref: Documentation/DocBook/kernel-locking.tmpl]

This was found using grep and compile-tested only.
