[PATCH] bluetooth: 6lowpan: fix use after free in chan_suspend/resume

From: Michael Scott
Date: Wed Mar 29 2017 - 02:10:53 EST


A status field in the skb_cb struct was storing a channel status
based on channel suspend/resume events. This stored status was
then used to return EAGAIN if there were packet sending issues
in snd_pkt().

The issue is that the skb has been freed by the time the callback
to 6lowpan's suspend/resume was called. So, this generates a
"use after free" issue that was noticed while running kernel tests
with KASAN debug enabled.

Let's eliminate the status field entirely as we can use the channel
tx_credits to indicate whether we should return EAGAIN when handling
packets.
