Hello Brian Gix, The patch 275f3f648702: "Bluetooth: Fix not checking MGMT cmd pending queue" from Mar 1, 2022, leads to the following Smatch static checker warning: net/bluetooth/mgmt.c:1587 mgmt_set_connectable_complete() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'cmd' (see line 1579) net/bluetooth/mgmt.c 1564 static void mgmt_set_connectable_complete(struct hci_dev *hdev, void *data, 1565 int err) 1566 { 1567 struct mgmt_pending_cmd *cmd = data; 1568 1569 bt_dev_dbg(hdev, "err %d", err); 1570 1571 /* Make sure cmd still outstanding. */ 1572 if (cmd != pending_find(MGMT_OP_SET_CONNECTABLE, hdev)) 1573 return; 1574 1575 hci_dev_lock(hdev); 1576 1577 if (err) { 1578 u8 mgmt_err = mgmt_status(err); 1579 mgmt_cmd_status(cmd->sk, cmd->index, cmd->opcode, mgmt_err); ^^^^^^^ 1580 goto done; 1581 } 1582 1583 send_settings_rsp(cmd->sk, MGMT_OP_SET_CONNECTABLE, hdev); 1584 new_settings(hdev, cmd->sk); ^^^^^^^ Dereferences. 1585 1586 done: --> 1587 if (cmd) ^^^ The patch adds a new NULL check but the pointer has already been dereferenced. 1588 mgmt_pending_remove(cmd); 1589 1590 hci_dev_unlock(hdev); 1591 } regards, dan carpenter
