[PATCH] Bluetooth: MGMT: Free unlisted commands on queue failure
From: Jiale Yao
Date: Wed Oct 28 2026 - 01:07:25 EST
mgmt_pending_new() allocates a command without adding it to the pending
list. set_phy_configuration() and read_local_ssp_oob_req() use this
helper before queuing synchronous HCI work.
If hci_cmd_sync_queue() fails, the work item does not take ownership of
the command. The error paths call mgmt_pending_remove(), which assumes
the command is linked and calls list_del() on its zeroed list node. This
can cause a NULL pointer dereference instead of releasing the command.
Free the unlisted command directly on queue failure.
