Hi,
2007/6/6, Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx>:
Note that the corruption seems to have its cause in a decrement done at
offset 16 into the object pointing to the refcount in struct hci_dev. So
it looks like the refcount was decremented after the object was freed.

sysfs related?

I noticed in hci_core.c:

hci_dev_close call hci_dev_do_close , then call hci_dev_put

but in hci_dev_do_close also call hci_dev_put

Maybe this is the reason, by apply the below patch the bug seems
doesn't exist, but the strange thing is the 2.4.22-rc4 seems works, I
will test once more to see the result.
