Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: mgmt: copy pending command data under the list lock
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 18:21:34 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260618102134.3339999-1-zzzccc427@gmail.com> (raw)
mgmt_pending_find() only protects the pending list lookup. Once it
returns, a caller that dereferences the returned command has no lifetime
guarantee unless another lock or ownership transfer keeps the command from
being removed and freed.
mgmt_powering_down() only needs the requested SET_POWERED mode, but it
currently keeps the raw pending command pointer after the list lock has
been dropped and then reads cmd->param and cp->val.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:
hci_suspend_dev()/hci_resume_dev(): SET_POWERED completion:
1. mgmt_powering_down() calls 1. mgmt_set_powered_complete()
pending_find()
2. pending_find() drops 2. mgmt_pending_valid() delists
mgmt_pending_lock the command
3. mgmt_pending_free() frees the
command and parameter buffer
3. mgmt_powering_down() reads
cmd->param
4. mgmt_powering_down() reads
cp->val
Add a helper that copies a requested pending-command parameter slice while
mgmt_pending_lock is still held. Use it for the mgmt_mode readers in
mgmt.c so they take a snapshot of the pending request instead of keeping an
unlocked raw command pointer just to inspect the requested mode.
Validation reproduced this kernel report:
