Sebastian Andrzej Siewior a9ee77af75 Bluetooth: avoid recursive locking in hci_send_to_channel()
Mart reported a deadlock in -RT in the call path:
  hci_send_monitor_ctrl_event() -> hci_send_to_channel()

because both functions acquire the same read lock hci_sk_list.lock. This
is also a mainline issue because the qrwlock implementation is writer
fair (the traditional rwlock implementation is reader biased).

To avoid the deadlock there is now __hci_send_to_channel() which expects
the readlock to be held.

Fixes: 38ceaa00d0 ("Bluetooth: Add support for sending MGMT commands and events to monitor")

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
