syzbot is hitting might_sleep() warning at hci_sock_dev_event() due to calling lock_sock() with rw spinlock held [1]. It seems that history of this locking problem is a trial and error. Commitb40df5743e("[PATCH] bluetooth: fix socket locking in hci_sock_dev_event()") in 2.6.21-rc4 changed bh_lock_sock() to lock_sock() as an attempt to fix lockdep warning. Then, commit4ce61d1c7a("[BLUETOOTH]: Fix locking in hci_sock_dev_event().") in 2.6.22-rc2 changed lock_sock() to local_bh_disable() + bh_lock_sock_nested() as an attempt to fix the sleep in atomic context warning. Then, commit4b5dd696f8("Bluetooth: Remove local_bh_disable() from hci_sock.c") in 3.3-rc1 removed local_bh_disable(). Then, commite305509e67("Bluetooth: use correct lock to prevent UAF of hdev object") in 5.13-rc5 again changed bh_lock_sock_nested() to lock_sock() as an attempt to fix CVE-2021-3573. This difficulty comes from current implementation that hci_sock_dev_event(HCI_DEV_UNREG) is responsible for dropping all references from sockets because hci_unregister_dev() immediately reclaims resources as soon as returning from hci_sock_dev_event(HCI_DEV_UNREG). But the history suggests that hci_sock_dev_event(HCI_DEV_UNREG) was not doing what it should do. Therefore, instead of trying to detach sockets from device, let's accept not detaching sockets from device at hci_sock_dev_event(HCI_DEV_UNREG), by moving actual cleanup of resources from hci_unregister_dev() to hci_cleanup_dev() which is called by bt_host_release() when all references to this unregistered device (which is a kobject) are gone. Since hci_sock_dev_event(HCI_DEV_UNREG) no longer resets hci_pi(sk)->hdev, we need to check whether this device was unregistered and return an error based on HCI_UNREGISTER flag. There might be subtle behavioral difference in "monitor the hdev" functionality; please report if you found something went wrong due to this patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
