Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: MGMT: Fix ADD_EXT_ADV_DATA rollback of committed instances
Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2026 14:00:33 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260703060033.570932-1-zzzccc427@gmail.com> (raw)
add_ext_adv_data() uses clear_new_instance to roll back failures after
preparing advertising data. That path is valid for a newly created pending
instance, but a malformed ADD_EXT_ADV_DATA request can also reach it for
an already committed advertising instance. In that case clear_new_instance
frees the live adv_info while hci_cmd_sync_work() may still be using it.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:
advertising enable path: ADD_EXT_ADV_DATA error path:
1. look up the committed adv_info 1. accept an update for that instance
2. wait for the controller 2. hit clear_new_instance on failure
response 3. remove and free the live adv_info
3. resume and access adv_info
Validation reproduced this kernel report:

Only pending instances should be rolled back from ADD_EXT_ADV_DATA
failures. Leave committed instances in place so queued controller work
cannot retain a freed adv_info pointer.
