Kalle,
On November 18th, I submitted a patch entitles "[PATCH 4.20] rtlwifi: Fix leak
of skb when processing C2H_BT_INFO" that fixes an skb memory leak.
I just checked, and this one-line patch is still sitting in patchwork with a
status of "NEW". Why is this the case? The reports and testing of the fix took
place in a GitHub issue thread, but that should not keep a critical fix from
being handled fairly quickly. Meanwhile users of unpatched kernels are having
their systems run out of memory! This problem is present in kernels 4.18+!
