sysfs_move_dir_ns() and sysfs_rename_dir_ns() pass kobj->sd to
kernfs_rename_ns() unconditionally. If sysfs_remove_dir() has already
cleared kobj->sd, the NULL flows through and kernfs_rename_ns()
dereferences it via rcu_access_pointer(kn->__parent), which KASAN
surfaces as a stack-segment fault on the shadow lookup:

  Oops: stack segment: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN PTI
  RIP: 0010:kernfs_rename_ns+0x3a/0x7a0 fs/kernfs/dir.c:1752

   hci_unregister_dev+0x21a/0x5b0 net/bluetooth/hci_core.c:2715

syzbot has reported 35 hits with this signature across net, net-next
and linux-next between July 2025 and January 2026, via both vhci
release and HCIDEVRESET ioctl.

Return -ENOENT in that case, consistent with sysfs_create_dir_ns().
The underlying ordering problem in bluetooth -- device_move() called
after the target's sysfs has been torn down -- is a separate issue.

No Closes: tag for the second report?

Also, this should have a Fixes: tag and Cc: stable.

sysfs_move_dir_ns() and sysfs_rename_dir_ns() pass kobj->sd to
kernfs_rename_ns() unconditionally. If sysfs_remove_dir() has already
cleared kobj->sd, the NULL flows through and kernfs_rename_ns()
dereferences it via rcu_access_pointer(kn->__parent), which KASAN
surfaces as a stack-segment fault on the shadow lookup:

   hci_unregister_dev+0x21a/0x5b0 net/bluetooth/hci_core.c:2715

syzbot has reported 35 hits with this signature across net, net-next
and linux-next between July 2025 and January 2026, via both vhci
release and HCIDEVRESET ioctl.

Return -ENOENT in that case, consistent with sysfs_create_dir_ns().
The underlying ordering problem in bluetooth -- device_move() called
after the target's sysfs has been torn down -- is a separate issue.

Hi,

This is the friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman.  You have sent him
a patch that has triggered this response.  He used to manually respond
to these common problems, but in order to save his sanity (he kept
writing the same thing over and over, yet to different people), I was
created.  Hopefully you will not take offence and will fix the problem
in your patch and resubmit it so that it can be accepted into the Linux
kernel tree.

You are receiving this message because of the following common error(s)
as indicated below:

- This looks like a new version of a previously submitted patch, but you
  did not list below the --- line any changes from the previous version.
  Please read the section entitled "The canonical patch format" in the
  kernel file, Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst for what
  needs to be done here to properly describe this.

If you wish to discuss this problem further, or you have questions about
how to resolve this issue, please feel free to respond to this email and
Greg will reply once he has dug out from the pending patches received
from other developers.

thanks,

greg k-h's patch email bot

This is just a rename commit with no functional change, so I think we should
pick the following commit instead:

Fixes: 608e266a2d4e ("sysfs: make kobj point to sysfs_dirent instead of dentry")

However, that commit is quite old, so it raises a bit the question, why does
this pop up now?

Technically, the API contract only talks about callers have to serialize calls,
i.e. your if (!kobj->sd) check should not have any TOCTOU issues, but it does
not talk about ordering.

That said, why does the bluetooth API run into this now?

Regardless of the above, the patch seems still fine even if it turns out to be
hardening only.
