John Stultz reports a boot time crash with the HiKey board (which uses hci_serdev) occurring in hci_uart_tx_wakeup(). That function is contained in hci_ldisc.c, but also called from the newer hci_serdev.c. It acquires the proto_lock in struct hci_uart and it turns out that we forgot to init the lock in the serdev code path, thus causing the crash. John bisected the crash to commit 67d2f8781b9f ("Bluetooth: hci_ldisc: Allow sleeping while proto locks are held"), but the issue was present before and the commit merely exposed it. (Perhaps by luck, the crash did not occur with rwlocks.) Init the proto_lock in the serdev code path to avoid the oops.

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.
