Thanks for the info. I think you're right, I just didn't understand very 
much when I wrote this patch.

If I'm understanding correctly, it seems that both the bh_lock_sock in 
rfcomm_connect_ind, and spin_lock_bh in rfcomm_sk_state_change need to 
be changed to lock_sock, otherwise they don't provide any 
synchronization with other functions in RFCOMM that use lock_sock.

If that sounds correct I can prepare the patch for that.

Best wishes,
Desmond
