Bluetooth: Fix wrong module refcount when connection setup fails
The module refcount is increased by hci_dev_hold() call in hci_conn_add() and decreased by hci_dev_put() call in del_conn(). In case the connection setup fails, hci_dev_put() is never called. Procedure to reproduce the issue: # hciconfig hci0 up # lsmod | grep btusb -> "used by" refcount = 1 # hcitool cc <non-exisiting bdaddr> -> will get timeout # lsmod | grep btusb -> "used by" refcount = 2 # hciconfig hci0 down # lsmod | grep btusb -> "used by" refcount = 1 # rmmod btusb -> ERROR: Module btusb is in use The hci_dev_put() call got moved into del_conn() with the 2.6.25 kernel to fix an issue with hci_dev going away before hci_conn. However that change was wrong and introduced this problem. When calling hci_conn_del() it has to call hci_dev_put() after freeing the connection details. This handling should be fully symmetric. The execution of del_conn() is done in a work queue and needs it own calls to hci_dev_hold() and hci_dev_put() to ensure that the hci_dev stays until the connection cleanup has been finished.
