False-positive Bluetooth messages fix in stable kernels

False-positive Bluetooth messages fix in stable kernels

[Pavel Skripkin]

Dear Greg and Sasha,

can you, please, cherry-pick following commit from Linus' tree:
commit 899663be5e75dc0174dc8bda0b5e6826edf0b29a with subject line 
"Bluetooth: refactor malicious adv data check".

There is missing Fixes: tag inside commit log, which causes this patch 
to not go to stable trees, but it actually fixes false-positive messages 
in dmesg.

I've seen 2 reports and I've asked reporters to test this patch and they 
have reported, that this patch actually fixes the problem [1] (second 
report was private, so I can't refer it there)



[1] 
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-bluetooth/CAC2ZOYuXg4btk9PaE3whmP7JnntsixEvDuBNvv7GL1pvU1nepQ@mail.gmail.com/T/#t





With regards,
Pavel Skripkin
