    Bluetooth: hci_core: Avoid mixing up req_complete and req_complete_skb · 3bd7594e
    Douglas Anderson authored
    In commit 44d27137 ("Bluetooth: Compress the size of struct
    hci_ctrl") we squashed down the size of the structure by using a union
    with the assumption that all users would use the flag to determine
    whether we had a req_complete or a req_complete_skb.
    
    Unfortunately we had a case in hci_req_cmd_complete() where we weren't
    looking at the flag.  This can result in a situation where we might be
    storing a hci_req_complete_skb_t in a hci_req_complete_t variable, or
    vice versa.
    
    During some testing I found at least one case where the function
    hci_req_sync_complete() was called improperly because the kernel thought
    that it didn't require an SKB.  Looking through the stack in kgdb I
    found that it was called by hci_event_packet() and that
    hci_event_packet() had both of its locals "req_complete" and
    "req_complete_skb" pointing to the same place: both to
    hci_req_sync_complete().
    
    Let's make sure we always check the flag.
