[PATCH v3 0/4] Bluetooth: Improve retrying of connection attempts

[PATCH v3 0/4] Bluetooth: Improve retrying of connection attempts

[Jonas Dreßler]

Since commit 4c67bc74f016 ("[Bluetooth] Support concurrent connect
requests"), the kernel supports trying to connect again in case the
bluetooth card is busy and fails to connect.

The logic that should handle this became a bit spotty over time, and also
cards these days appear to fail with more errors than just "Command
Disallowed".

This series refactores the handling of concurrent connection requests
by serializing all "Create Connection" commands for ACL connections
similar to how we do it for LE connections.

[PATCH v3 1/4] Bluetooth: Remove superfluous call to hci_conn_check_pending()

[Jonas Dreßler]

The "pending connections" feature was originally introduced with commit
4c67bc74f016 ("[Bluetooth] Support concurrent connect requests") and
6bd57416127e ("[Bluetooth] Handling pending connect attempts after
inquiry") to handle controllers supporting only a single connection request
at a time. Later things were extended to also cancel ongoing inquiries on
connect() with commit 89e65975fea5 ("Bluetooth: Cancel Inquiry before
Create Connection").

With commit a9de9248064b ("[Bluetooth] Switch from OGF+OCF to using only
opcodes"), hci_conn_check_pending() was introduced as a helper to
consolidate a few places where we check for pending connections (indicated
by the BT_CONNECT2 flag) and then try to connect.

This refactoring commit also snuck in two more calls to
hci_conn_check_pending():

- One is in the failure callback of hci_cs_inquiry(), this one probably
makes sense: If we send an "HCI Inquiry" command and then immediately
after a "Create Connection" command, the "Create Connection" command might
fail before the "HCI Inquiry" command, and then we want to retry the
"Create Connection" on failure of the "HCI Inquiry".

- The other added call to hci_conn_check_pending() is in the event handler
for the "Remote Name" event, this seems unrelated and is possibly a
copy-paste error, so remove that one.

Fixes: a9de9248064b ("[Bluetooth] Switch from OGF+OCF to using only opcodes")

[PATCH v3 3/4] Bluetooth: hci_conn: Only do ACL connections sequentially

[Jonas Dreßler]

Pretty much all bluetooth chipsets only support paging a single device at
a time, and if they don't reject a secondary "Create Connection" request
while another is still ongoing, they'll most likely serialize those
requests in the firware.

With commit 4c67bc74f016 ("[Bluetooth] Support concurrent connect
requests") we started adding some serialization of our own in case the
adapter returns "Command Disallowed" HCI error.

This commit was using the BT_CONNECT2 state for the serialization, this
state is also used for a few more things (most notably to indicate we're
waiting for an inquiry to cancel) and therefore a bit unreliable. Also
not all BT firwares would respond with "Command Disallowed" on too many
connection requests, some will also respond with "Hardware Failure"
(BCM4378), and others will error out later and send a "Connect Complete"
event with error "Rejected Limited Resources" (Marvell 88W8897).

We can clean things up a bit and also make the serialization more reliable
by using our hci_sync machinery to always do "Create Connection" requests
in a sequential manner.

This is very similar to what we're already doing for establishing LE
connections, and it works well there.

[PATCH v3 4/4] Bluetooth: Remove pending ACL connection attempts

[Jonas Dreßler]

With the last commit we moved to using the hci_sync queue for "Create
Connection" requests, removing the need for retrying the paging after
finished/failed "Create Connection" requests and after the end of
inquiries.

hci_conn_check_pending() was used to trigger this retry, we can remove it
now.

Note that we can also remove the special handling for COMMAND_DISALLOWED
errors in the completion handler of "Create Connection", because "Create
Connection" requests are now always serialized.

This is somewhat reverting commit 4c67bc74f016 ("[Bluetooth] Support
concurrent connect requests").

With this, the BT_CONNECT2 state of ACL hci_conn objects should now be
back to meaning only one thing: That we received a "Connection Request"
from another device (see hci_conn_request_evt), but the response to that
is going to be deferred.

Thanks for landing the first two commits!

I think this is actually the same issue causing the test failure
as in the other issue I had:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-bluetooth/7cee4e74-3a0c-4b7c-9984-696e646160f8@v0yd.nl/

It seems that the emulator is unable to reply to HCI commands sent
from the hci_sync machinery, possibly because that is sending things
on a separate thread?

Jonas

Okay I did some further digging now: Turns out this actually not a problem
with vhci and the emulator, but (in this test case) it's actually intended
that there's the command times out, because force_power_off is TRUE for
this test case, and the HCI device gets shut down right after sending the MGMT
command.

The test broke because the "Command Complete" MGMT event comes back with status
"Disconnected" instead of "Not Powered": The reason for that is the
hci_abort_conn_sync() that I added in the case where the "Create Connection" HCI
times out. hci_abort_conn_sync() calls hci_conn_failed() with
HCI_ERROR_LOCAL_HOST_TERM as expected, this in turn calls the hci_connect_cfm()
callback (pairing_complete_cb), and there we we look up HCI_ERROR_LOCAL_HOST_TERM
in mgmt_status_table, ending up with MGMT_STATUS_DISCONNECTED.

When I remove the hci_abort_conn_sync() we get the "Not Powered" failure again,
I'm not exactly sure why that happens (I assume there's some kind of generic mgmt
failure return handler that checks hdev_is_powered() and then sets the error).

So the question now is do we want to adjust the test (and possibly bluetoothd?)
to expect "Disconnected" instead of "Not Powered", or should I get rid of the
hci_abort_conn_sync() again? Fwiw, in hci_le_create_conn_sync() we also clean
up like this on ETIMEDOUT (maybe the spec is just different there?), so
consistency wise it seems better to adjust the test to expect "Disconnected".

Jonas

Great that you find time to dig into this, and yes I think it is fine
to expect a different error if in the process we clean up using
hci_abort_conn_sync we just need to make sure nothing else is affected
by this change.
