Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: hci_debugfs: serialize force_bredr_smp writes
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 18:21:50 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260618102150.3340673-1-zzzccc427@gmail.com> (raw)
force_bredr_smp_write() calls smp_force_bredr() without hci_dev_lock().
That helper checks HCI_FORCE_BREDR_SMP, updates hdev->smp_bredr_data, and
then toggles the force flag. Two same-value writers can therefore both
pass the -EALREADY gate and run the same enable or disable transition on
one hdev.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:
debugfs writer A: debugfs writer B:
1. parse enable = false 1. parse enable = false
2. test HCI_FORCE_BREDR_SMP as set 2. test HCI_FORCE_BREDR_SMP as set
3. read hdev->smp_bredr_data 3. read hdev->smp_bredr_data
4. clear hdev->smp_bredr_data 4. clear hdev->smp_bredr_data
5. call smp_del_chan(chan) 5. call smp_del_chan(chan)
6. toggle HCI_FORCE_BREDR_SMP 6. toggle HCI_FORCE_BREDR_SMP
If writer B reaches step 3 after writer A has cleared
hdev->smp_bredr_data but before writer A toggles HCI_FORCE_BREDR_SMP,
writer B still passed the old flag check and can pass NULL into
smp_del_chan(). The double toggle can also leave the force flag
mismatched with the requested state.
Take hci_dev_lock() around smp_force_bredr() in the debugfs write path so
each request observes and applies one stable BR/EDR SMP transition.
