Unfortunately, with this change I get a panic disconnecting from Motorola H270 in the case that the headset initiated RFCOMM and we disconnect RFCOMM.

Lan Zhu suspected this in the original post, and his original fix does in fact fix this panic as well as the originally reported panic, because it avoids the unbalanced rfcomm_session_put(). Marcel I know you are concerned about the original fix changing scheduling assumptions, are you able to comment on this further? Are there any other suggestions for patches for this issue? I have spent the best part of the day trying to figure this one out, but the recounting in the rfcomm core is quite subtle and I think it really needs someone familiar with the code to have a quick look and come up with the safest patch. I can run tests. In the mean time, I am doing some testing of Lan Zhu's original fix and if there are no better suggestions we will run with that one for Android. Nick Some more analysis: With the RFCOMM connection in idle there are 2 references on s->refcnt However three references are removed during disconnect with the H270 - rfcomm_process_sessions() -> __rfcomm_dlc_close() -> rfcomm_dlc_unlink() - rfcomm_process_sessions() -> rfcomm_process_rx() -> rfcomm_recv_ua() with dlci =3D 0 and s->state =3D BT_DISCONN - rfcomm_process_sessions() -> rfcomm_process_rx() with sk_state =3D BT_CLOSED and s->initiator =3D 0 in that order. On another headset, for example the Moto H350, we only see the first two references removed during disconnect. - rfcomm_process_sessions() -> __rfcomm_dlc_close() -> rfcomm_dlc_unlink() - rfcomm_process_sessions() -> rfcomm_process_rx() -> rfcomm_recv_ua() with dlci =3D 0 and s->state =3D BT_DISCONN
