Today I changed the send buffer size but found kernel become very
unstable. It usually crash during sending rfcomm data. Do you know
what's the reason?

Below is what I changed in net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c.

in function rfcomm_sock_alloc(),

change sk->sndbuf
from
sk->sk_sndbuf =3D RFCOMM_MAX_CREDITS * RFCOMM_DEFAULT_MTU * 10
to
sk->sk_sndbuf =3D RFCOMM_MAX_CREDITS * RFCOMM_DEFAULT_MTU * 20

Thanks,
