Subject: [PATCH BlueZ 6/7] doc: describe admin allowlist runtime enforcement
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 10:36:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702083641.378994-6-frederic.danis@collabora.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260702083641.378994-1-frederic.danis@collabora.com>
Document that ServiceAllowList now also governs local adapter/server
startup and registration, and that allowlist updates are applied
immediately on initialized adapters.
Clarify ServiceAllowList status semantics for both remote profile
connection policy and local server policy.

When called, **bluetoothd(8)** will block incoming and outgoing connections to
the service not in UUIDs for all of the clients.
+The allowlist also applies to local adapter/server services. When an allowlist
+exists, only adapter/server services whose policy UUID is in UUIDs are started
+or registered.
+
+Updating the allowlist is applied immediately on initialized adapters:
+
+- services that become disallowed are stopped/removed
+- services that become allowed are started/registered
+
+This does not require restarting **bluetoothd(8)** or power-cycling adapters.
+
Any subsequent calls to this method will supersede any previously set allowlist
values. Calling this method with an empty array will allow any service UUIDs to
be used.
