[PATCH v2] Bluetooth: add timeout sanity check to hci_inquiry

From: Pavel Skripkin
Date: Thu Aug 19 2021 - 11:15:35 EST


Syzbot hit "task hung" bug in hci_req_sync(). The problem was in
unreasonable huge inquiry timeout passed from userspace.
Fix it by adding sanity check for timeout value to hci_inquiry().

Since hci_inquiry() is the only user of hci_req_sync() with user
controlled timeout value, it makes sense to check timeout value in
hci_inquiry() and don't touch hci_req_sync().

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
