Yes. One of our customer did the test as the problem was reported by the
customer. The deadlock fix patch from Balbi (hci_ldsic) fixed the issue 
and customer confirmed that the issue is fixed.

I wouldn't add that tag myself, but Murali (in Cc) did help testing
together with other colleagues.

This reverts commit 0324a821029e1f54e7a7f8fed48693cfce42dc0e.

That commit tried to fix a deadlock problem when using
hci_ldisc, but it turns out the bug was in hci_ldsic
all along where it was calling ->write() from within
->write_wakeup() callback.

The problem is that ->write_wakeup() was called with
port lock held and ->write() tried to grab the same
port lock.


Should this and the next patch be earlier in the series
as a fix for the v3.15-rc cycle? Should they be cc: stable
as well?


Well, right now the other fix has had _zero_ testing
so not really a -stable candidate just yet.

how can you even say that ?


I misunderstood when you wrote:

Unless you work for some 3 letter acronym
organizations, you have no clue about the fact that this was tested on a
keystone 2 platform.


Ok.


How else would we have found the issue to start with ?


Bug report?

Should this and the next patch be earlier in the series
as a fix for the v3.15-rc cycle? Should they be cc: stable
as well?
