SubjectRe: [PATCH] make hci_notifier a blocking notifier (was Re: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at net/core/sock.c:1523)
Apologies for taking so long to get back to you -- I've been on the
road for the last week and have finally got to a point where I could
test the patch.

Yes, it's roughly the same trace. There are some differences, though
those are likely due to me finding a new way to trigger the issue. (My
laptop has a button to turn the WiFi/Bluetooth on and off. Hitting
that and causing a disconnect of the internal Bluetooth connector
triggers the same issue without going through a suspend/resume cycle.)
