Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: hci_debugfs: Pin the module for open dut_mode files
Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2026 12:01:46 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pm-bluetooth-objects-candidate-0251-v5-7e4e8154d66ac0e60df2@gmail.com> (raw)
An open dut_mode file retains dut_mode_fops in the debugfs proxy state.
The table must remain allocated until the final close has finished
accessing it. However, dut_mode_fops has no owner, so fops_get()
succeeds without taking a Bluetooth module reference.
With CONFIG_BT=m and Bluetooth debugfs enabled, a descriptor can remain
open across controller removal and module unload if all other module
references have been dropped. After hci_debugfs_create_basic() publishes
the file, the following order is possible:
File holder Controller/module teardown
----------- --------------------------
open dut_mode
full_proxy_open_regular()
fops_get(): owner == NULL
debugfs_file_put()
keep descriptor open hci_unregister_dev()
hci_release_dev()
debugfs_remove_recursive()
delete_module()
bt_exit()
free_module()
close descriptor after unload
full_proxy_release()
read real_fops->release
Debugfs removal drains active callbacks, but an idle open descriptor is
not an active user. Its dentry retains the saved table pointer until
close. full_proxy_release() then reads the release field, even though
it is NULL, and fops_put() reads the owner field from freed module
storage. The close can fault in full_proxy_release(), as shown below.
Set the owner of dut_mode_fops to THIS_MODULE, matching the tables
created by DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE in the same file. The existing debugfs
fops_get()/fops_put() pair then keeps Bluetooth loaded until close has
finished using the table, preventing normal unload with the file open.
