Subject: [PATCH] btmrvl: Fix hdev dangling pointer and error code in register_hdev
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2026 00:06:07 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260625160607.81615-1-vulab@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)

In btmrvl_register_hdev(), when hci_register_dev() fails, the
function frees the hci_dev via hci_free_dev() but leaves
priv->btmrvl_dev.hcidev as a dangling pointer. While the subsequent
cleanup code does not currently access it, setting it to NULL is a
defensive fix that prevents potential use-after-free.

Additionally, the function always returns -ENOMEM on the
hci_register_dev() failure path, discarding the actual error code.
Fix this by preserving and returning the original error code.
