This patch series fixes a NULL pointer dereference in skb_dequeue()
during QCA devcoredump handling, and adds some safety checks to make the
parsing more robust.
The first patch fixes the logic bug where dump packets were mistakenly
passed to hci_recv_frame() and freed prematurely. This was caused by
handle_dump_pkt_qca() returning 0 even when the dump was successfully
handled. It also refactors dump packet detection into separate helpers
for ACL and event packets.
The second patch adds bounds checks and replaces direct pointer access
with skb_pull() and skb_pull_data() to avoid accessing invalid memory
on malformed packets.
Tested on WCN7851 (0489:e0f3) with devcoredump enabled. Crash no
longer occurs and dumps are processed correctly.
Changes in v4:
- Fix unused variable error in the first patch
- Refine commit messages
Changes in v3:
- Use skb_pull_data() for safe packet header access
- Split dump packet detection into separate ACL and event helpers
Changes in v2:
- Fixed typo in the title
- Re-flowed commit message line to fit 72 characters
- Added blank line before btusb_recv_acl_qca()
