[PATCH 6.6.y 0/2] CVE-2026-63974, CVE-2026-98297: backport fix series

[Artem Dinaburg]

Hi,

Please consider this backport series for CVE-2026-63974, CVE-2026-98297 to
6.6.y.

Apply the patches in this order:
1. Bluetooth: hci_sync: Set HCI_CMD_DRAIN_WORKQUEUE during device close (fix)
2. Bluetooth: hci_core: Fix queuing tx_work after workqueue is drained (fix)

Patch 1 marks the workqueue as draining during device close and waits for
earlier RCU-protected producers before draining it.

Patch 2 makes ACL, SCO and ISO transmit scheduling check that drain flag
under RCU, preventing new tx_work from being queued during close. The code
changes in both patches are identical to upstream.

The complete fix is already present in 6.12.y, 6.18.y and 7.2.y.

Build-tested only as part of a cumulative 6.6.y series on x86_64
(allmodconfig, CONFIG_WERROR=y); no runtime testing.

An LLM assisted with preparing these backports.

Thanks,
Artem Dinaburg

[PATCH 6.6.y 1/2] Bluetooth: hci_sync: Set HCI_CMD_DRAIN_WORKQUEUE during device close

[Artem Dinaburg]

From: Heitor Alves de Siqueira <halves@igalia.com>

[ Upstream commit 525daaea459fc215f432de1b8debbd9144bf97b0 ]

Since hci_dev_close_sync() can now be called during the reset path, we
should also set HCI_CMD_DRAIN_WORKQUEUE. This avoids queuing timeouts
while the hdev workqueue is being drained.

[PATCH 6.6.y 2/2] Bluetooth: hci_core: Fix queuing tx_work after workqueue is drained

[Artem Dinaburg]

From: ThangNN99 <ngocthang2710.1999@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 6610c6fe4b8936c232048e6049bf77c70a6f759c ]

hci_send_acl(), hci_send_sco() and hci_send_iso() queue hdev->tx_work
unconditionally. They can run from the L2CAP/SCO/ISO socket send path
while hci_dev_close_sync() is draining hdev->workqueue (HCIDEVDOWN
racing with a socket write). Since that queue_work() is not chained
work from the tx_work worker itself, __queue_work() sees the queue
marked __WQ_DRAINING, warns "cannot queue %ps on wq %s", and drops
the work:

  WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 5985 at kernel/workqueue.c:2352 __queue_work
  Call Trace:
   queue_work_on
   l2cap_chan_send
   l2cap_sock_sendmsg
   ...

hci_dev_close_sync() already sets HCI_CMD_DRAIN_WORKQUEUE before
draining, but only hci_cmd_work() and handle_cmd_cnt_and_timer()
check it before queuing. Route the tx_work producers through the
same guard via a shared hci_sched_tx() helper.
