[PATCH v5] bluetooth: hci_h5: fix memory leak in h5_close

From: Anant Thazhemadam
Date: Fri Oct 16 2020 - 09:16:03 EST


When h5_close() is called, h5 is directly freed when !hu->serdev.
However, h5->rx_skb is not freed, which causes a memory leak.

Freeing h5->rx_skb and setting it to NULL, fixes this memory leak.

Changes in v5:
* Set h5->rx_skb = NULL unconditionally - to improve code
readability
* Update commit message accordingly

(Suggested by Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx>)
* If hu->serdev, then assign h5->rx_skb = NULL

Changes in v3:
* Free h5->rx_skb when !hu->serdev, and fix the memory leak
* Do not incorrectly and unnecessarily call serdev_device_close()

Changes in v2:
* Fixed the Fixes tag
