This is a revised series which also contains a minimal fix to the memory leak discovered by David Hermann upon which the first NULL-pointer-dereference fix also depends. These patches need to get to Linus ASAP as the problems are present in 3.3-rc6 as well as earlier kernels and thus should be backported to the stable trees as well.
Any chance to get these into 3.3? Otherwise, is it possible to rebase bluetooth-next on top of these so that Greg can get them into 3.3.1 (and the other stable trees) once bluetooth-next is merged? All three bugs can be used to crash any kernel with HCI-UART support and can probably be used for exploits as they are extremely easy to trigger reliably. Thanks, Johan
