[PATCH] bluetooth: hci_ldisc: fix deadlock condition

From: Tim Niemeyer
Date: Fri Aug 22 2014 - 09:46:09 EST


This Patch was applied to 3.10 and 3.2. It's probably missed on 3.4.

---------------------

From: Felipe Balbi <balbi@xxxxxx>

LDISCs shouldn't call tty->ops->write() from within
->write_wakeup().

->write_wakeup() is called with port lock taken and
IRQs disabled, tty->ops->write() will try to acquire
the same port lock and we will deadlock.
