Ronald Tschalär 67d2f8781b Bluetooth: hci_ldisc: Allow sleeping while proto locks are held.
Commit dec2c92880 ("Bluetooth: hci_ldisc:
Use rwlocking to avoid closing proto races") introduced locks in
hci_ldisc that are held while calling the proto functions. These locks
are rwlock's, and hence do not allow sleeping while they are held.
However, the proto functions that hci_bcm registers use mutexes and
hence need to be able to sleep.

In more detail: hci_uart_tty_receive() and hci_uart_dequeue() both
acquire the rwlock, after which they call proto->recv() and
proto->dequeue(), respectively. In the case of hci_bcm these point to
bcm_recv() and bcm_dequeue(). The latter both acquire the
bcm_device_lock, which is a mutex, so doing so results in a call to
might_sleep(). But since we're holding a rwlock in hci_ldisc, that
results in the following BUG (this for the dequeue case - a similar
one for the receive case is omitted for brevity):

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c

   kthread+0x133/0x150

We can't replace the mutex in hci_bcm, because there are other calls
there that might sleep. Therefore this replaces the rwlock's in
hci_ldisc with rw_semaphore's (which allow sleeping). This is a safer
approach anyway as it reduces the restrictions on the proto callbacks.
Also, because acquiring write-lock is very rare compared to acquiring
the read-lock, the percpu variant of rw_semaphore is used.

Lastly, because hci_uart_tx_wakeup() may be called from an IRQ context,
we can't block (sleep) while trying acquire the read lock there, so we
use the trylock variant.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
