[PATCH 0/3] Bluetooth: btmtk: firmware debug event routing and WMT FUNC_CTRL status fixes

[PATCH 0/3] Bluetooth: btmtk: firmware debug event routing and WMT FUNC_CTRL status fixes

[Chris Lu]

This series bundles three independent MediaTek Bluetooth driver fixes:

Patch 1 is a resend of a fix submitted on 25 Aug 2026
("Bluetooth: btmtk: Route firmware debug event to the diag channel")
that received no review feedback. There are no code changes since
that submission; resending it alongside the two related fixes below.

Patches 2-3 fix how btmtk_usb_hci_wmt_sync() (and its btmtksdio.c /
btmtkuart.c counterparts) interpret a WMT FUNC_CTRL event that carries
only the WMT header and no trailing 2-byte status word. Such an event
is a normal firmware ack for a plain enable/disable request, with the
result carried in the header's own flag byte, not a failure as the
current code assumes:

  - Patch 2 fixes this for btmtk.c, where a bounds check already
    existed (added by e3ac0d9f1a20) but defaulted to the wrong
    result.
  - Patch 3 applies the same fix to btmtksdio.c and btmtkuart.c, which
    never had a bounds check for this event at all and read 2 bytes
    past the end of the received SKB whenever firmware sent the short
    form. While there, it also adds the missing base WMT header length
    check that btmtk.c already has (skb_pull_data() before touching
    wmt_evt->whdr.op), since these two files were unconditionally
    dereferencing that field with no length validation at all.

[PATCH 1/3] Bluetooth: btmtk: Route firmware debug event to the diag channel

[Chris Lu]

MediaTek controllers may emit a firmware debug event on the ACL channel
using the reserved handle 0x0efd, which shows up in the ACL header as
0x2efd once the start fragment flag is included.

Neither btmtk_usb_recv_acl() nor btmtksdio_recv_acl() recognizes it, so
the packet is passed to the HCI core, which has no connection with that
handle and complains:

  Bluetooth: hci0: ACL packet for unknown connection handle 3837

Handle it the same way as the existing firmware debug logging packets and
forward it to the diagnostic channel instead.

Verified on MT7922: under the condition that triggers this firmware
debug event, it is now routed to the diag channel instead of reaching
the host as an unknown ACL packet.

[PATCH 2/3] Bluetooth: btmtk: fix wrong status for short WMT FUNC_CTRL events

[Chris Lu]

A too-short BTMTK_WMT_FUNC_CTRL event (WMT header only, no trailing
2-byte status word) is always treated as BTMTK_WMT_ON_UNDONE. This
short form is how firmware acks a plain enable/disable request, and
the actual result is carried in the header's own flag byte (0 =
success), not a separate status word. Decode it from there instead of
assuming failure.

Verified setup on MT7920, MT7921, MT7922 and MT7925: no regression.

[PATCH 3/3] Bluetooth: btmtksdio, btmtkuart: validate WMT event length before struct access

[Chris Lu]

btmtksdio.c and btmtkuart.c cast a received WMT event straight to
struct btmtk_hci_wmt_evt and read its op/flag fields without checking
the event is long enough to contain them, unlike btmtk.c. The
FUNC_CTRL case then further casts to struct btmtk_hci_wmt_evt_funcc
and reads its 2-byte status field, again without a length check.
Firmware that sends a short or malformed WMT event makes both drivers
read past the end of the received SKB.

Mirror btmtk.c: validate the base WMT header with skb_pull_data()
before touching any of its fields, and when a FUNC_CTRL event turns
out to be the short, header-only form (a plain enable/disable ack
with no status word), decode the result from the header's own flag
byte instead (0 = success, otherwise failure).

Verified setup on MT7920, MT7921, MT7922 and MT7925: no regression.

Sashiko flagged a problem regarding the usage of ACL connection handle
without masking the PB field:

https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260911104234.2276126-1-chris.lu%40mediatek.com

If the HCI fragmentation doesn't apply to these handles, please add a
comment regarding it; otherwise, users like Sashiko will keep flagging
it going forward.
