[PATCH v2] Bluetooth: hci_core: fix init for HCI_USER_CHANNEL

From: Mattijs Korpershoek
Date: Wed Oct 16 2019 - 23:21:03 EST


During the setup() stage, HCI device drivers expect the chip to
acknowledge its setup() completion via vendor specific frames.

If userspace opens() such HCI device in HCI_USER_CHANNEL [1] mode,
the vendor specific frames are never tranmitted to the driver, as
they are filtered in hci_rx_work().

Allow HCI devices which operate in HCI_USER_CHANNEL mode to receive
frames if the HCI device is is HCI_INIT state.

Changelog:
v2:
* change test logic to transfer packets when in INIT phase
for user channel mode as recommended by Marcel
* renamed patch from
"Bluetooth: hci_core: fix init with HCI_QUIRK_NON_PERSISTENT_SETUP"

v1:
* https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/10/3/2250

Some more background on the change follows:

The Android bluetooth stack (Bluedroid) also has a HAL implementation
which follows Linux's standard rfkill interface [1].

This implementation relies on the HCI_CHANNEL_USER feature to get
exclusive access to the underlying bluetooth device.

When testing this along with the btkmtksdio driver, the
chip appeared unresponsive when calling the following from userspace:

struct sockaddr_hci addr;
int fd;

fd = socket(AF_BLUETOOTH, SOCK_RAW, BTPROTO_HCI);

memset(&addr, 0, sizeof(addr));
addr.hci_family = AF_BLUETOOTH;
addr.hci_dev = 0;
addr.hci_channel = HCI_CHANNEL_USER;

bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *) &addr, sizeof(addr)); # device hangs

In the case of bluetooth drivers exposing QUIRK_NON_PERSISTENT_SETUP
such as btmtksdio, setup() is called each multiple times.
In particular, when userspace calls bind(), the setup() is called again
and vendor specific commands might be send to re-initialize the chip.

Those commands are filtered out by hci_core in HCI_CHANNEL_USER mode,
preventing setup() from completing successfully.

This has been tested on a 4.19 kernel based on Android Common Kernel.
It has also been compile tested on bluetooth-next.
