Hi,

This patch series started out as a fix for "inconsistent lock state in
sco_sock_timeout" reported by Syzbot [1].

Patch 1 is sufficient to fix this error. This was also confirmed by the
reproducer for "BUG: corrupted list in kobject_add_internal (3)" [2]
which consistently hits the inconsistent lock state error.

However, while testing the proposed fix, the reproducer for [1] would
randomly return a human-unreadable error [3]. After further
investigation, this bug seems to be caused by an unrelated error with
forking [4].

While trying to fix the mysterious error, additional fixes were added,
such as switching to lock_sock and serializing _{set,clear}_timer.

Additionally, as the reproducer kept hitting the oom-killer, a fix for
SCO socket killing was also added.

The reproducer for [1] was robust enough to catch errors with these
additional fixes, hence all the patches in this series were squashed then
tested with the reproducer for [1].

Overall, this series makes the following changes:

- Patch 1: Schedule SCO sock timeouts with delayed_work to avoid
inconsistent lock usage (removes SOFTIRQs from SCO)

- Patch 2: Avoid a circular dependency between hci_dev_lock and
lock_sock (enables the switch to lock_sock)

- Patch 3: Switch to lock_sock in SCO now that SOFTIRQs and potential
deadlocks are removed

- Patch 4: Serialize calls to sco_sock_{set,clear}_timer

- Patch 5: Switch to lock_sock in RFCOMM

- Patch 6: fix SCO socket killing

v4 -> v5:
- Renamed the delayed_work variable, moved checks for sco_pi(sk)->conn
into sco_sock_{clear,set}_timer, as suggested by Luiz Augusto von Dentz
and Marcel Holtmann.
- Added check for conn->sk in sco_sock_timeout, accompanied by a
sock_hold to avoid UAF errors.
- Added check to flush work items before freeing conn.
- Avoid a circular dependency between hci_dev_lock and lock_sock.
- Switch to lock_sock in SCO, as suggested by Marcel Holtmann.
- Serial calls to sco_sock_{set,clear}_timer.
- Switch to lock_sock in RFCOMM, as suggested by Marcel Holtmann.
- Add a fix for SCO socket killing.

v3 -> v4:
- Switch to using delayed_work to schedule SCO sock timeouts instead
of using local_bh_disable. As suggested by Luiz Augusto von Dentz.

v2 -> v3:
- Split SCO and RFCOMM code changes, as suggested by Luiz Augusto von
Dentz.
- Simplify local bh disabling in SCO by using local_bh_disable/enable
inside sco_chan_del since local_bh_disable/enable pairs are reentrant.

v1 -> v2:
- Instead of pulling out the clean-up code out from sco_chan_del and
using it directly in sco_conn_del, disable local softirqs for relevant
sections.
- Disable local softirqs more thoroughly for instances of
bh_lock_sock/bh_lock_sock_nested in the bluetooth subsystem.
Specifically, the calls in af_bluetooth.c and rfcomm/sock.c are now made
with local softirqs disabled as well.
