Both hci_find_adv_instance and hci_remove_adv_instance have a comment above their function definition saying that these two functions require the caller to hold the hdev->lock lock. However, hci_le_ext_adv_term_evt does not acquire that lock and neither does its caller hci_le_meta_evt (hci_le_meta_evt calls hci_le_ext_adv_term_evt via an indirect function call because of the lookup in hci_le_ev_table). The other event handlers all acquire and release the hdev->lock and they follow the rule that hci_find_adv_instance and hci_remove_adv_instance must be called while holding the hdev->lock lock. The solution is to make sure hci_le_ext_adv_term_evt also acquires and releases the hdev->lock lock. The check on ev->status which logs a warning and does an early return is not covered by the lock because other functions also access ev->status without holding the lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
