There is a possible data race as shown below:
thread-A in nci_request() | thread-B in nci_close_device()
| mutex_lock(&ndev->req_lock);
test_bit(NCI_UP, &ndev->flags); |
... | test_and_clear_bit(NCI_UP, &ndev->flags)
mutex_lock(&ndev->req_lock); |
|
This race will allow __nci_request() to be awaked while the device is
getting removed.
Similar to commit e2cb6b891a ("bluetooth: eliminate the potential race
condition when removing the HCI controller"). this patch alters the
function sequence in nci_request() to prevent the data races between the
nci_close_device().

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.
