In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: avoid deadlock between hci_dev->lock and socket lock Commit
eab2404ba798 (“Bluetooth: Add BT_PHY socket option”) added a dependency
between socket lock and hci_dev->lock that could lead to deadlock. It turns
out that hci_conn_get_phy() is not in any way relying on hdev being
immutable during the runtime of this function, neither does it even look at
any of the members of hdev, and as such there is no need to hold that lock.
This fixes the lockdep splat below:
