Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] Bluetooth: MGMT: Fix advertising instances with Global Advertising
Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2026 13:52:16 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261005175219.3547838-1-luiz.dentz@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Luiz Augusto von Dentz <luiz.von.dentz@intel.com>
Global Advertising, enabled with MGMT_OP_SET_ADVERTISING, uses instance
0 and with extended advertising it has its own advertising set, but
instances were still being treated as if they shared the same set:
- Add Advertising and Add Extended Advertising Data would return
success without ever enabling the instance.
- Removing the last instance would disable all advertising sets,
stopping Global Advertising while leaving its setting enabled.
- Disabling Global Advertising would disable all sets, including
active instances.
Fix this by only overriding instances that share the advertising set of
Global Advertising, and by tracking HCI_LE_ADV_0 rather than HCI_LE_ADV
to determine the state of Global Advertising, which is now also cleared
when all advertising sets are disabled.
Fixes: 0d92808024b4 ("Bluetooth: HCI: Fix tracking of advertisement set/instance 0x00")
