Jia-Hong Su 53e54cb31e Bluetooth: hci_uart: fix null-ptr-deref in hci_uart_write_work 
[ Upstream commit 0c3cd7a0b8 ]

hci_uart_set_proto() sets HCI_UART_PROTO_INIT before calling
hci_uart_register_dev(), which calls proto->open() to initialize
hu->priv. However, if a TTY write wakeup occurs during this window,
hci_uart_tx_wakeup() may schedule write_work before hu->priv is
initialized, leading to a NULL pointer dereference in
hci_uart_write_work() when proto->dequeue() accesses hu->priv.

The race condition is:

  CPU0                              CPU1
  ----                              ----
  hci_uart_set_proto()
    set_bit(HCI_UART_PROTO_INIT)
    hci_uart_register_dev()
                                    tty write wakeup
                                      hci_uart_tty_wakeup()
                                        hci_uart_tx_wakeup()
                                          schedule_work(&hu->write_work)
      proto->open(hu)
        // initializes hu->priv
                                    hci_uart_write_work()
                                      hci_uart_dequeue()
                                        proto->dequeue(hu)
                                          // accesses hu->priv (NULL!)

Fix this by moving set_bit(HCI_UART_PROTO_INIT) after proto->open()
succeeds, ensuring hu->priv is initialized before any work can be
scheduled.

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

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.
