I'm running kernel 5.8.0-rc6 on acceptor and kernel 5.8.5 on the initiator which acts as an attacker.
For the attack simulation, some code needs to be changed on each size.
On the acceptor, the master parameter for bt_io_listen() in bluetoothd should be changed to FALSE in profiles/audio/a2dp.c a2dp_server_listen() and profiles/audio/avctp.c avctp_server_socket().
The change makes the kernel not to change the role to master when it receives hci conn req event.
I did the change in order to make the controller to send LMP_ENCRYPTION_KEY_SIZE_REQ PDU for one byte key size.

On the initiator, the below encryption key size check should be removed.

At last, I did the test as below:
1. On the initiator, pair acceptor
2. Run l2test -r -P 3 on the acceptor
3. Run l2test -n -P 3 <bdaddr> on the initiator

In my test case, the key size has been read from controller before the l2cap conn request PDU is received.
