If that\nregistration fails, dev->tty_dev is never set at all. The device can be\nlooked up in the meantime, so an open() of /dev/rfcommN gets through\nrfcomm_tty_install() and attaches to it. When that tty is closed again,\nrfcomm_dev_shutdown() uses dev->tty_dev without checking it:\n\n  Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address\n  KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000040-0x0000000000000047]\n  RIP: 0010:rfcomm_dev_shutdown+0x48/0xb0 net/bluetooth/rfcomm/tty.c:131\n  Call Trace:\n   tty_port_shutdown+0x1bf/0x220 drivers/tty/tty_port.c:372\n   tty_port_close+0x4e/0x150 drivers/tty/tty_port.c:705\n   tty_release+0x359/0x1670 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:1718\n   __fput+0x418/0xa50 fs/file_table.c:512\n\nrfcomm_dev_destruct() already copes with a NULL dev->tty_dev.
