When adding 6lowpan devices very rapidly we sometimes see a crash: [23122.306615] CPU: 2 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/2 Not tainted 4.9.0-43-arm64 #1 Debian 4.9.9.linaro.43-1 [23122.315400] Hardware name: HiKey Development Board (DT) [23122.320623] task: ffff800075443080 task.stack: ffff800075484000 [23122.326551] PC is at expire_timers+0x70/0x150 [23122.330907] LR is at run_timer_softirq+0xa0/0x1a0 [23122.335616] pc : [<ffff000008142dd8>] lr : [<ffff000008142f58>] pstate: 600001c5 This was due to add_peer_chan() unconditionally initializing the lowpan_btle_dev->notify_peers delayed work structure, even if the lowpan_btle_dev passed into add_peer_chan() had previously been initialized. Normally, this would go unnoticed as the delayed work timer is set for 100 msec, however when calling add_peer_chan() faster than 100 msec it clears out a previously queued delay work causing the crash above. To fix this, let add_peer_chan() know when a new lowpan_btle_dev is passed in so that it only performs the delay work initialization when needed.

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.
