<id>urn:sha1:57938bbdb9bf7fd41cbd5cd509ec10c4b22bec18</id>
<content type='text'>
In hci_register_dev(), the power_on work item is queued to
hdev-&gt;req_workqueue before initializing hdev-&gt;adv_monitors_idr and
registering the MSFT extension via msft_register(). For devices marked with
quirks such as HCI_QUIRK_RAW_DEVICE, the HCI_UNCONFIGURED flag is set on
the device. When the power_on work item runs concurrently on another CPU,
hci_power_on() detects that the device is unconfigured and immediately
invokes hci_dev_do_close(), which calls msft_do_close().

Concurrently, msft_register() allocates the msft structure and exposes it
to hdev-&gt;msft_data prior to calling mutex_init(&amp;msft-&gt;filter_lock). If
msft_do_close() executes while hdev-&gt;msft_data is already assigned but the
mutex has not yet been initialized, mutex_lock(&amp;msft-&gt;filter_lock) operates
on an uninitialized mutex, triggering a DEBUG_LOCKS warning:

DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock-&gt;magic != lock)

 &lt;/TASK&gt;

Fix this by moving the queue_work() call in hci_register_dev() to after
idr_init(&amp;hdev-&gt;adv_monitors_idr) and msft_register(hdev) so that device
structures and extensions are fully initialized before asynchronous tasks
can access them. Additionally, assign hdev-&gt;msft_data in msft_register()
only after mutex_init(&amp;msft-&gt;filter_lock) has completed.

<title>Bluetooth: MSFT: validate evt_prefix_len against the response length</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0079e1a944634ab2dc1c7cdec1144486d096407e</id>
<content type='text'>
read_supported_features() only checks that the response covers the fixed
part of struct msft_rp_read_supported_features, which is 11 bytes:

	if (skb-&gt;len &lt; sizeof(*rp)) {
		bt_dev_err(hdev, "MSFT supported features length mismatch");
		goto failed;
	}

evt_prefix[] is a flexible array member and rp-&gt;evt_prefix_len is an
unvalidated u8 taken straight out of that response, so

	msft-&gt;evt_prefix = kmemdup(rp-&gt;evt_prefix, rp-&gt;evt_prefix_len,
				   GFP_KERNEL);

copies up to 255 bytes from a reply that may have carried none of them.
What is copied is data the controller never sent, and it is then used to
match incoming vendor events in msft_vendor_evt().

This is not an out-of-bounds access. An skb data allocation always has
at least SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)) bytes past the
payload, which is more than the 255 byte maximum, so the read stays
inside the allocation and KASAN does not report it. It is still a read
of bytes the host was never given, with the length fully controlled by
the controller.

Reject a response that is too short for the prefix it declares.

Verified with an emulated controller over /dev/vhci on a KASAN kernel,
with vhci made to advertise an MSFT opcode the way btintel, btqca, btmtk
and btrtl do unconditionally. A reply of exactly 11 bytes declaring
evt_prefix_len = 255 reaches kmemdup and copies 255 bytes
("skb-&gt;len=11 evt_prefix_len=255", with the copied buffer dumped); since
the reply ends at the fixed part, all 255 come from past the end of the
response. No KASAN report is produced, as expected from the allocation
slack described above. With this patch the response is rejected with
"MSFT event prefix length mismatch" and msft-&gt;evt_prefix is left unset.

<title>Bluetooth: MGMT: Fix adv monitor add failure cleanup</title>

<id>urn:sha1:384a4b2fef9ffe5e270ee5558975c0504881c5fb</id>
<content type='text'>
hci_add_adv_monitor() publishes a new adv_monitor in
hdev-&gt;adv_monitors_idr before the powered MSFT setup step. The MSFT
offload add path can then fail either locally before the controller add
command completes, or in the MSFT add callback. In the current queued
management add flow, hci_cmd_sync_work() still invokes
mgmt_add_adv_patterns_monitor_complete() with the original pending command
after msft_add_monitor_pattern() returns.

The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:

MSFT add handling                  MGMT completion
1. insert monitor and handle       1. receive sync error
2. send MSFT add command           2. call add-monitor completion
3. callback sees bad response      3. load cmd-&gt;user_data
4. callback frees monitor          4. read monitor-&gt;handle

Local MSFT setup failures have the other half of the same ownership bug:
they return an error after the IDR insertion, but no later code removes the
failed monitor from the IDR.

Keep ownership with the pending management command until its completion.
For normal management adds, the MSFT add callback now records successful
controller state and returns errors to its caller. The management
completion frees the monitor on non-success after copying the response
handle, while resume/reregister callback-error cleanup remains in the
MSFT callback. The success path keeps the existing bookkeeping.

Validation reproduced this kernel report:

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

<content type='text'>
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

<title>Bluetooth: msft: __hci_cmd_sync() doesn't return NULL</title>

<id>urn:sha1:41c56aa94c647a0f84c5c33fffb3f283e6f0e5bf</id>
<content type='text'>
The __hci_cmd_sync() function doesn't return NULL.  Checking for NULL
doesn't make the code safer, it just confuses people.

When a function returns both error pointers and NULL then generally the
NULL is a kind of success case.  For example, maybe we look up an item
then errors mean we ran out of memory but NULL means the item is not
found.  Or if we request a feature, then error pointers mean that there
was an error but NULL means that the feature has been deliberately
turned off.

In this code it's different.  The NULL is handled as if there is a bug
in __hci_cmd_sync() where it accidentally returns NULL instead of a
proper error code.  This was done consistently until commit 9e14606d8f38
("Bluetooth: msft: Extended monitor tracking by address filter") which
deleted the work around for the potential future bug and treated NULL as
success.

Predicting potential future bugs is complicated, but we should just fix
them instead of working around them.  Instead of debating whether NULL
is failure or success, let's just say it's currently impossible and
delete the dead code.
