From 0ffac654e95c1bdfe2d4edf28fb18d6ba1f103e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Rissanen Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 11:47:21 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: hci_h4: Fix race during initialization Commit 5df5dafc171b ("Bluetooth: hci_uart: Fix another race during initialization") fixed a race for hci commands sent during initialization. However, there is still a race that happens if an hci event from one of these commands is received before HCI_UART_REGISTERED has been set at the end of hci_uart_register_dev(). The event will be ignored which causes the command to fail with a timeout in the log: "Bluetooth: hci0: command 0x1003 tx timeout" This is because the hci event receive path (hci_uart_tty_receive -> h4_recv) requires HCI_UART_REGISTERED to be set in h4_recv(), while the hci command transmit path (hci_uart_send_frame -> h4_enqueue) only requires HCI_UART_PROTO_INIT to be set in hci_uart_send_frame(). The check for HCI_UART_REGISTERED was originally added in commit c2578202919a ("Bluetooth: Fix H4 crash from incoming UART packets") to fix a crash caused by hu->hdev being null dereferenced. That can no longer happen: once HCI_UART_PROTO_INIT is set in hci_uart_register_dev() all pointers (hu, hu->priv and hu->hdev) are valid, and hci_uart_tty_receive() already calls h4_recv() on HCI_UART_PROTO_INIT or HCI_UART_PROTO_READY. Remove the check for HCI_UART_REGISTERED in h4_recv() to fix the race condition.
