Subject: Bluetooth patches for 2.6.21-rc7

Hi Dave,

I have two last minute patches before the final 2.6.21 kernel hits the
streets. One is a kernel memory leak that has been classified as
security issue. The second one is a sysfs fix to correct a wrong use of
class and bus devices.

Regards

Marcel

    [Bluetooth] Attach host adapters to the Bluetooth bus
    
    The Bluetooth host adapters are attached to the Bluetooth class and the
    low-level connections are children of these class devices. Having class
    devices as parent of bus devices breaks a lot of reasonable assumptions
    about sysfs. The host adapters should be attached to the Bluetooth bus
    to simplify the dependency resolving. For compatibility an additional
    symlink from the Bluetooth class will be used.

    [Bluetooth] Fix L2CAP and HCI setsockopt() information leaks
    
    The L2CAP and HCI setsockopt() implementations have a small information
    leak that makes it possible to leak kernel stack memory to userspace.
    
    If the optlen parameter is 0, no data will be copied by copy_from_user(),
    but the uninitialized stack buffer will be read and stored later. A call
    to getsockopt() can now retrieve the leaked information.
    
    To fix this problem the stack buffer given to copy_from_user() must be
    initialized with the current settings.
