Bluetooth: btusb: limit RTL8761B BROKEN_EXT_SCAN quirk to 0bda:a728

2026-08-24T17:13:28+00:00

Commit 5ead2063611a ("Bluetooth: btrtl: fix RTL8761B/BU broken LE extended scan") set HCI_QUIRK_BROKEN_EXT_SCAN for every CHIP_ID_8761B device to cure repeated 0x2042 failures on an 0bda:a728 dongle. The brokenness is per-dongle, not per-chip: on a TP-Link UB500 (2357:0604, RTL8761BU, fw 0xdfc6d922) extended scan works, and the legacy scan path the quirk forces is what is broken -- LE Set Scan Enable (0x200c) times out with -110 about 30 s after firmware load, btusb resets the device, and the adapter re-enumerates in an endless loop (382 firmware reloads in one boot). 7.1.8, which predates the stable backport, runs clean on this unit; 7.1.9 loops. Move the quirk from btrtl's chip-wide switch to a btusb device-table flag on the USB id the original fix was verified against. Other 8761B dongles return to their earlier long-standing behaviour.

Bluetooth: btrtl: validate firmware patch bounds

2026-07-13T14:08:06+00:00

rtlbt_parse_firmware() copies patch_length - 4 bytes before appending the firmware version. A malformed firmware patch shorter than the version field can make this subtraction underflow and turn the copy into an oversized read and write during Bluetooth setup. The existing patch_offset + patch_length check can also wrap on 32-bit architectures. Validate the patch length and range without arithmetic overflow before allocating or copying the patch.

Bluetooth: btrtl: fix RTL8761B/BU broken LE extended scan

2026-06-11T18:24:38+00:00

RTL8761B and RTL8761BU devices report HCI version 5.1 but do not support the LE Extended Scan commands. This causes repeated failures with Opcode 0x2042 (LE Set Extended Scan Parameters) returning -EBUSY when BlueZ attempts extended scanning while a connection is active. Set HCI_QUIRK_BROKEN_EXT_SCAN for CHIP_ID_8761B to make BlueZ fall back to legacy LE scan commands which the firmware supports correctly. Tested with RTL8761BU (USB ID 0bda:a728) where the issue manifested as continuous 'Opcode 0x2042 failed: -16' errors in dmesg whenever a BLE connection was active.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

Bluetooth: btrtl: Avoid loading the config file on security chips

For chips with security enabled, it's only possible to load firmware with a valid signature pattern. If key_id is not zero, it indicates a security chip, and the driver will not load the config file. - Example log for a security chip.
