Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] Bluetooth: Advertising sets on a single-set controller
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 01:09:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111010940.728149-1-weihong.guan@gmail.com> (raw)
When the controller supports a single advertising set,
hci_add_adv_instance() gives instance 1 handle 0x00, the handle Global
Advertising uses too. The parameters, data and enable commands already
use adv->handle; these patches cover what still takes the instance
number for the handle: setting the set's random address, removing the
set, and the Advertising Set Terminated event.
Changes in v2, addressing the review at
https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20261023132421.1889022-1-weihong.guan%40gmail.com
(I hadn't seen it, sorry):
- The instance is looked up, and adv->handle read, with hdev->lock held.
- Patch 1: hci_cc_le_set_adv_set_random_addr() records the address of
the instance numbered as the handle and leaves handle 0x00 alone, so
instance 1's address on handle 0x00 went unrecorded. It is now
recorded in hci_set_adv_set_random_addr_sync() when the instance and
its handle differ.
- Patch 2: hci_cc_le_remove_adv_set() looked up instance 0 for handle
0x00 and left instance 1 in hdev->adv_instances. The completion can't
tell instance 1 from instance 0, which MGMT's Set Advertising also
removes on handle 0x00, so instance 1 is removed in
hci_remove_ext_adv_instance_sync() once the command succeeds.
- Patch 2: while Global Advertising is on it owns handle 0x00, and the
controller would refuse to remove an enabled set, so only the instance
is removed then.
- Patch 3 (new): the Advertising Set Terminated event finds the instance
owning handle 0x00, the one enabled on it as hci_le_ext_adv_set_enabled()
tracks, for the connection's responder address (which SMP checks), the
instance re-enabled after the disconnection, and the removal on an
error.
Tested on a Raspberry Pi 5 (rpi-7.4.y, 7.4-rc2, with net/bluetooth and
include/net/bluetooth from bluetooth-next and these patches) with a
controller reporting one advertising set (LE Read Number of Supported
Advertising Sets = 1), btmgmt and btmon:
- A non-connectable instance (a random address) starts: its address
goes to handle 0x00 and the set advertises from it.
- Removing it sends LE Remove Advertising Set for handle 0x00; the
instance leaves the list (Read Advertising Features: none) and
Advertising Removed goes out.
- With Global Advertising on, removing instance 1 sends no LE Remove
Advertising Set, the instance still leaves the list, and the set
keeps advertising for Global Advertising.
- A connectable instance from a random static address
(force_static_address) on handle 0x00: Advertising Set Terminated
for handle 0x00, LE Secure Connections pairing completes (DHKey
Check both ways, so the responder address is the one advertised),
and after the disconnection instance 1 advertises again.
Built with W=1; checkpatch clean but for the Assisted-by tag.
