With your change these mgmt commands couldn't be called anymore. There's also a check for this higher up in the mgmt_control function to ensure that hdev is not NULL for other handlers: if ((hdev && opcode < MGMT_OP_READ_INFO) || (!hdev && opcode >= MGMT_OP_READ_INFO)) { err = cmd_status(sk, index, opcode, MGMT_STATUS_INVALID_INDEX); goto done; } Johan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
