[PATCH 3/4] Bluetooth: hci_event: Use 254 as max LE Meta subevent payload length in hci_le_ev_table[]

From: Zijun Hu

Date: Sun Sep 13 2026 - 23:44:32 EST


hci_le_meta_evt() validates skb->len against subev->max_len from the entry
in hci_le_ev_table[], By then, the HCI event header and LE Meta subevent
header have already been stripped by skb_pull(), So the max LE Meta
subevent payload is 254, but hci_le_ev_table[] still uses
HCI_MAX_EVENT_SIZE (260) for it, which is imprecise.

Fix by defining HCI_MAX_LE_SUBEVT_PLEN (254) and using it instead.
