From 9dbd84990394c51f5cee1e8871bb5ff8af5ed939 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Siwei Zhang Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 22:30:36 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: L2CAP: fix chan ref leak in l2cap_chan_timeout() on !conn __set_chan_timer() takes a l2cap_chan reference via l2cap_chan_hold() before scheduling the delayed work. The normal path in l2cap_chan_timeout() drops this reference with l2cap_chan_put() at the end, but the early return when chan->conn is NULL skips the put, leaking the reference. Add the missing l2cap_chan_put() before the early return.
