This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled Bluetooth: hci_event: shut up a false-positive warning to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: bluetooth-hci_event-shut-up-a-false-positive-warning.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 4b4870b16776a4abede8b33c9caf6d35901d94d1 Author: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Nov 22 23:17:44 2023 +0100 Bluetooth: hci_event: shut up a false-positive warning [ Upstream commit a5812c68d849505ea657f653446512b85887f813 ] Turning on -Wstringop-overflow globally exposed a misleading compiler warning in bluetooth: net/bluetooth/hci_event.c: In function 'hci_cc_read_class_of_dev': net/bluetooth/hci_event.c:524:9: error: 'memcpy' writing 3 bytes into a region of size 0 overflows the destination [-Werror=stringop-overflow=] 524 | memcpy(hdev->dev_class, rp->dev_class, 3); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The problem here is the check for hdev being NULL in bt_dev_dbg() that leads the compiler to conclude that hdev->dev_class might be an invalid pointer access. Add another explicit check for the same condition to make sure gcc sees this cannot happen.
