[kernel PATCH v3] Bluetooth: hci_sync: Resume adv with no RPA when active scan

From: Zhengping Jiang
Date: Tue Feb 21 2023 - 19:18:07 EST


The address resolution should be disabled during the active scan,
so all the advertisements can reach the host. The advertising
has to be paused before disabling the address resolution,
because the advertising will prevent any changes to the resolving
list and the address resolution status. Skipping this will cause
the hci error and the discovery failure.

According to the bluetooth specification:
"7.8.44 LE Set Address Resolution Enable command

This command shall not be used when:
- Advertising (other than periodic advertising) is enabled,
- Scanning is enabled, or
- an HCI_LE_Create_Connection, HCI_LE_Extended_Create_Connection, or
HCI_LE_Periodic_Advertising_Create_Sync command is outstanding."

If the host is using RPA, the controller needs to generate RPA for
the advertising, so the advertising must remain paused during the
active scan.

If the host is not using RPA, the advertising can be resumed after
disabling the address resolution.

Changes in v3:
- Add a function to check the requirements to pause addr resolution
- Pause and resume advertising in hci_pause_addr_resolution
- Resume advertising if pausing addr resolution fails or privacy mode is
not used for advertising

Changes in v2:
- Commit message format

Changes in v1:
- With LL privacy, always pause advertising when active scan
- Only resume the advertising if the host is not using RPA
