Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] Bluetooth: SMP: Serialize root channel replacement
Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2026 15:32:24 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pm-bluetooth-objects-candidate-0184-v9-4094fa28af7bd56a283a-3@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pm-bluetooth-objects-candidate-0184-v9-4094fa28af7bd56a283a-0@gmail.com>
smp_register() replaces the SMP root channels when they are still
registered from an earlier power-on. This happens when management
powers on a controller that is already up with HCI_AUTO_OFF set:
hci_power_on_sync() clears the flag and runs hci_powered_update_sync()
again, which registers SMP so that the channels use the identity address
chosen for this power-on. The WARN_ON() in smp_register() fires on this
path, and the old channels and their SMP data are freed while two kinds
of users can still hold them.
HCI event handlers read hdev->smp_data under hdev->lock, for example
smp_irk_matches() when resolving the target of a directed advertising
report:
HCI receive worker Power-on request
hci_dev_lock(hdev)
smp_irk_matches()
chan = hdev->smp_data
hci_powered_update_sync()
smp_register()
smp_del_chan(chan), chan freed
reads chan->data
SMP receive callbacks run on hdev->workqueue without hdev->lock and use
the ECDH transform of the root, for example smp_cmd_public_key():
HCI receive worker (SMP) Power-on request
smp_cmd_public_key()
tfm = root's tfm_ecdh
smp_register()
smp_del_chan()
crypto_free_kpp(tfm)
compute_ecdh_secret(tfm, ...)
Before commit 2ff13894cfb8 ("Bluetooth: Perform HCI update for power on
synchronously") moved it to the request worker, registration ran from the
completion callback of the power-on request in the HCI receive worker,
which serialized it with both users.
Run the registration on hdev->workqueue again and hold hdev->lock while
it replaces the channels. smp_register() waits for the work and returns
its result. Its callers hold the request lock but not hdev->lock,
including hci_power_on() when it updates a controller in the
HCI_AUTO_OFF window. No work on hdev->workqueue takes the request lock,
and hci_dev_close_sync() drains this workqueue only with the request
lock held, so the registration work cannot be queued while it drains.
Users that run under the request lock, such as smp_generate_rpa(), stay
serialized by that lock.
The reports below come from test kernels with scheduling hooks that
widen these windows. The WARN_ON() in smp_register() was printed before
each of them.
