btmtksdio_close() and btmtksdio_reset() call cancel_work_sync() on bdev->txrx_work while holding the sdio host lock, which is also acquired by btmtksdio_txrx_work(). If txrx_work is queued when close/reset runs, a worker thread may start it after the host lock is taken and block in sdio_claim_host(), while cancel_work_sync() waits for the work to finish. The host lock is only released after cancel_work_sync() returns, so both sides wait forever, deadlocking close/reset. Fix this by releasing the sdio host lock before calling cancel_work_sync(), then re-acquiring it afterwards. The interrupt is already disabled (sdio_release_irq() in close, C_INT_EN_CLR in reset) before the work is cancelled, so no new work can be scheduled and cancel_work_sync() fully quiesces txrx_work before the device is torn down. This mirrors the pattern already used by btmtksdio_flush(), which cancels the work without holding the host lock. Signed-off-by: ZhaoJinming <[email protected]> --- btmtksdio_close() and btmtksdio_reset() call cancel_work_sync() on bdev->txrx_work while holding the sdio host lock that btmtksdio_txrx_work() also acquires. If txrx_work is queued at that point, a worker thread can start it and block in sdio_claim_host(), while cancel_work_sync() waits for the work to finish and the host lock is only released afterwards - a deadlock. This series releases the host lock around cancel_work_sync() so the work can always complete, mirroring the pattern already used by btmtksdio_flush(). --- --- drivers/bluetooth/btmtksdio.c | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/bluetooth/btmtksdio.c b/drivers/bluetooth/btmtksdio.c index c6f80c419e901e71b21e550449250a5a6755d100..879d580226d25ad398105a158de1545dace33718 100644 --- a/drivers/bluetooth/btmtksdio.c +++ b/drivers/bluetooth/btmtksdio.c @@ -746,8 +746,16 @@ static int btmtksdio_close(struct hci_dev *hdev) sdio_release_irq(bdev->func); + /* No new work can be scheduled after sdio_release_irq(), so cancel the + * work outside the sdio host lock. btmtksdio_txrx_work() also claims + * the host, so canceling it while holding the lock would deadlock. + */ + sdio_release_host(bdev->func); + cancel_work_sync(&bdev->txrx_work); + sdio_claim_host(bdev->func); + btmtksdio_fw_pmctrl(bdev); clear_bit(BTMTKSDIO_FUNC_ENABLED, &bdev->tx_state); @@ -1293,8 +1301,18 @@ static void btmtksdio_reset(struct hci_dev *hdev) sdio_writel(bdev->func, C_INT_EN_CLR, MTK_REG_CHLPCR, NULL); skb_queue_purge(&bdev->txq); + + /* With the interrupt disabled, the SDIO IRQ handler can no longer + * schedule txrx_work.
