[PATCH v1] Bluetooth: Add ncmd=0 recovery handling

From: Manish Mandlik
Date: Fri Mar 19 2021 - 16:17:39 EST


During command status or command complete event, the controller may set
ncmd=0 indicating that it is not accepting any more commands. In such a
case, host holds off sending any more commands to the controller. If the
controller doesn't recover from such condition, host will wait forever.

This patch adds a timer when controller gets into such condition and
resets the controller if controller doesn't recover within the timeout
period.

Hello Maintainers,

We noticed that during suspend, sometimes the controller firmware gets
into a state where it is not accepting any more commands (it returns
ncmd=0 in Command Status):

< HCI Command: Disconnect (0x01|0x0006) plen 3  #398 [hci0] 83.760502
        Handle: 1
        Reason: Remote Device Terminated due to Power Off (0x15)
> HCI Event: Command Status (0x0f) plen 4       #399 [hci0] 83.761694
      Disconnect (0x01|0x0006) ncmd 0
        Status: Success (0x00)

In such a case, the host holds off sending any more packets to the
controller until it is ready to accept more commands. If the controller
doesn't recover from such a condition, Command Timeout does not get
triggered as Command Timeout is queued only once the packet is sent to
the controller; hence, the host will wait forever. 

This patch adds a timer to recover from this condition. Since the
suspend timeout is 2 seconds, I'm using 4 seconds timeout to recover
from ncmd=0. This should give ample amount of time for recovery and
should not create any race conditions with the suspend. Once we resume
from the suspend normally, the timer would expire and reset the
controller. I have verified this patch locally and able to connect to
peer device after resume from suspend. Please let me know your thoughts
on this.

Thanks,
Manish.
