Subject: [PATCH v3] Bluetooth: hci_sync: wait for directed advertising completion
Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2026 00:45:12 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260821164512.2842464-1-nicoyip.dev@gmail.com> (raw)
le_conn_timeout is embedded in struct hci_conn, but queuing the work does
not hold a reference to the connection. hci_conn_del() uses
cancel_delayed_work() because synchronous cancellation would deadlock when
le_conn_timeout() itself calls hci_conn_del() while holding hdev->lock.
This leaves the following interleaving possible:
CPU 0 CPU 1
le_conn_timeout()
hci_conn_del()
cancel_delayed_work() = false
hci_conn_cleanup()
put_device()
kfree(conn)
hci_conn_failed(conn, ...)
The callback then dereferences the released connection. KASAN reported:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in hci_conn_failed+0x232/0x250
Read of size 8 at addr ffff8881180e8e20 by task kworker/u33:1/111
Workqueue: hci0 le_conn_timeout
Call Trace:
hci_conn_failed+0x232/0x250
le_conn_timeout+0x23e/0x2c0
process_one_work+0x61b/0xf50
worker_thread+0x45b/0xd10
Remove le_conn_timeout instead of adding another connection reference.
Have the legacy and extended directed-advertising enable commands wait for
the appropriate LE Connection Complete event in hci_le_create_conn_sync().
The command-sync entry already holds a connection reference until its
completion callback returns.
Command Status already keeps a command-sync request pending when the
command succeeds and a later event was requested. Do the same for
Command Complete so controllers that complete LE Set Advertising Enable
with Command Complete do not bypass the requested LE Connection Complete
wait.
Mark directed advertising as an in-flight connection attempt so teardown
can cancel the wait. Disable advertising synchronously when that wait
fails, and preserve HCI_ERROR_ADVERTISING_TIMEOUT for a software timeout.
Clear the instance-0 extended advertising state when advertising is stopped
or a connection completes so resuming paused advertising does not restart
the directed advertising instance.
There is then no delayed callback that can race with connection deletion.
Fixes: 980ffc0a2cec ("Bluetooth: Fix LE connection timeout deadlock")

Changes in v3:
- Keep command-sync requests pending on successful Command Complete when
the caller requested a later event, matching the existing Command Status
behavior and fixing the first Sashiko/Luiz report.
- Clear HCI_LE_ADV_0 when all extended advertising instances are disabled
and when LE connection complete implicitly stops advertising, fixing the
second Sashiko report about resuming stale directed advertising.
Changes in v2:
- Remove le_conn_timeout instead of adding references around delayed work.
- Wait for LE Connection Complete from both directed-advertising enable paths.
- Make the wait cancellable and disable advertising after a failed wait.
