Our static analysis tool finds a possible data race in the l2cap protocol in Linux 6.3.0-rc7: In most calling contexts, the variable sk->sk_socket is accessed with holding the lock sk->sk_callback_lock. Here is an example: l2cap_sock_accept() --> Line 346 in net/bluetooth/l2cap_sock.c bt_accept_dequeue() --> Line 368 in net/bluetooth/l2cap_sock.c sock_graft() --> Line 240 in net/bluetooth/af_bluetooth.c write_lock_bh(&sk->sk_callback_lock); --> Line 2081 in include/net/sock.h (Lock sk->sk_callback_lock) sk_set_socket() --> Line 2084 in include/net/sock.h sk->sk_socket = sock; --> Line 2054 in include/net/sock.h (Access sk->sk_socket) However, in the following calling context: sco_sock_shutdown() --> Line 1227 in net/bluetooth/sco.c __sco_sock_close() --> Line 1243 in net/bluetooth/sco.c BT_DBG(..., sk->sk_socket); --> Line 431 in net/bluetooth/sco.c (Access sk->sk_socket) the variable sk->sk_socket is accessed without holding the lock sk->sk_callback_lock, and thus a data race may occur.
