It is never cleared afterwards. The\nsession, however, can go away underneath it.\n\nrfcomm_recv_disc() forces the dlc state before tearing it down:\n\n\td->state = BT_CLOSED;\n\t__rfcomm_dlc_close(d, err);\n\nThe RFCOMM_DEFER_SETUP early return in __rfcomm_dlc_close() only covers\nBT_CONNECT, BT_CONFIG, BT_OPEN and BT_CONNECT2, so with the state\nalready BT_CLOSED that switch does not match and the function falls\nthrough to rfcomm_dlc_unlink(), which sets d->session = NULL, while\nd->defer_setup stays 1.\n\nA getsockopt(SOL_RFCOMM, RFCOMM_CONNINFO) on the accepted socket after\nthat point therefore skips the -ENOTCONN path -- sk->sk_state is\nBT_CLOSED, but dlc->defer_setup is still set -- and dereferences the\nNULL session. No race is needed: once the DISC has been processed, the\ndereference is unconditional.\n\nReproduced on a KASAN kernel under QEMU with a BR/EDR peer emulated over\n/dev/vhci: the peer brings up an ACL link, opens L2CAP on the RFCOMM\nPSM, starts a session and sends SABM for a channel bound with\nBT_DEFER_SETUP, and sends DISC for that dlci after the socket has been\naccepted. getsockopt(SOL_RFCOMM, RFCOMM_CONNINFO) on the accepted\nsocket then hits:\n\n Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address\n 0xdffffc0000000002: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN PTI\n KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000010-0x0000000000000017]\n CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 150 Comm: init Tainted: G B 7.3.0-rc3-g5dd1818b15d9\n Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)\n RIP: 0010:rfcomm_sock_getsockopt+0x529/0x780\n Call Trace:\n  <TASK>\n  do_sock_getsockopt+0x3ad/0x7d0\n  __sys_getsockopt+0x10e/0x1b0\n  __x64_sys_getsockopt+0xc2/0x160\n  do_syscall_64+0xda/0x4b0\n  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f\n  </TASK>\n\n0x10 is the offset of sock in struct rfcomm_session;\nrfcomm_sock_getsockopt_old() is inlined into rfcomm_sock_getsockopt().\n\nCommit 43a556b2fd43 (\"Bluetooth: RFCOMM: take rfcomm_mutex for the\ndeferred setup accept\") fixed the same \"a remote DISC clears the session\nwhile deferred setup is still flagged\" problem in rfcomm_dlc_accept();\nthis is the remaining instance of it, in the getsockopt path.\n\nDeferred setup only leaves a socket usable here once it has reached\nBT_CONNECT2, so restrict the exception to that state and check that a\nsession is actually present before following it."
