Description Valerio 2004-02-17 05:37:29 UTC
i've discovered this bug from the test9 version of kernel.. but i was waiting for see this fixed... until now :)
so.. the bug completely hangs the system. you need a shutdown or a reboot for continue using your pc
steps to reproduce:

1) rfcomm bind 2 11:22:33:44:55:66 1    # 11:22:33:44:55:66 is the bluetooth ID of your gprs cellularphone
2) pppd file /etc/ppp/nokia-3650 /dev/rfcomm2 etc ... etcc. etc.. #IF THE PHONE is turned off... the rfcomm hangs, and u need to kill manually the pppd process (or with CTRL+C)
- you now have your rfcomm2 blocked. there are 2 variables of this bug.
A) the rfcomm is blocked so, you turn on your phone, then write "pppd file /etc/ppp/nokia-3650 /dev/rfcomm2" and it will print:
"Failed to open /dev/rfcomm2: Device or resource busy"
B) you turn on the phone, try to connect... and you get a error similar to:
/dev/rfcomm2 is used by pid xxxx
the pid xxxx is the previous pppd instance... and he becomes inkillable! (i tried killall pppd or kill -9 xxxx)

in this two cases if you shutdown the phone, remove the bluetooth adapter or try to close the rfcomm device with "rfcomm release 2" the pc hangs completely :

not sure how we can help here, seemsl ike a kernel problem to me.
Comment 4 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-06 05:25:13 UTC
did a newer release of the kernel or ppp fix this?
