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.
