[PATCH 1/2] Bluetooth: hci_sync: add request wait hook for __hci_cmd_sync_sk

From: Pauli Virtanen

Date: Sun Oct 11 2026 - 16:41:38 EST


Support doing something after hci_sync request event wait is armed, but
before wait starts. Currently hci_req_sync_run() queues cmd_work, which
sets hdev->req_skb and arms the wait, but hci_sync does not see when
this occurs.

This is needed by BIS PAST (separate patch) to signal userspace when
kernel starts waiting for PAST Received.

Introduce new pending hdev->req_status state HCI_REQ_QUEUE. cmd_work
transitions QUEUE -> PEND after setting hdev->req_skb which is where
event wait starts.

Fire the wait hook when __hci_cmd_sync_sk() has started waiting for its
event, and if that fails. If no wait hook, start directly with PEND, to
avoid the extra req_wait_q wakeup.

Rename the function to __hci_cmd_sync_sk_run(), add small wrappers to
preserve old API.
