resolved:\n\nBluetooth: Fix use-after-free in l2cap_sock_cleanup_listen()\n\nsyzbot reported the splat below without a repro.\n\nIn the splat, a single thread calling bt_accept_dequeue() freed sk\nand touched it after that.\n\nThe root cause would be the racy l2cap_sock_cleanup_listen() call\nadded by the cited commit.\n\nbt_accept_dequeue() is called under lock_sock() except for\nl2cap_sock_release().\n\nTwo threads could see the same socket during the list iteration\nin bt_accept_dequeue():\n\n  CPU1                        CPU2 (close())\n  ----
