Many devices use userspace bluetooth stacks like BlueZ or Bluedroid in combination with uhid. If any of these stacks is used with a HID device for which the driver performs a HID request as part .probe (or technically another HID operation), this results in a deadlock situation. The deadlock results in a 5 second timeout for I/O operations in HID drivers, so isn't fatal, but none of the I/O operations have a chance of succeeding. The root cause for the problem is that uhid only allows for one request to be processed at a time per uhid instance and locks out other operations. This means that if a user space is creating a new HID device through 'UHID_CREATE', which ultimately triggers '.probe' through the HID layer. Then any HID request e.g. a read for calibration data would trigger a HID operation on uhid again, but it won't go out to userspace, because it is still stuck in UHID_CREATE. In addition bluetooth stacks are typically single threaded, so they woul...
