that is what I thought. However converting it to the same handling using min and copying into local storage might be a good idea. The more pieces in HCI, L2CAP, SCO and RFCOMM sockets that are similar, the better.

Could you tell us why this is good idea? I failed to find it in git
history/mailing list.

In addition to RFCOMM connect that you mentioned, I found out SCO
connect/bind still use the old style in Bluetooth unlikely HCI,L2CAP.

it avoids any kind of leakage and allows for an easy extension of the socket data structures if we ever have to.
