Subject: second scan timing out, bisected to 314b2381a79c6bfe3ddc4ba3806ecb6aec27a3db

Hi,

I am seeing with newer kernels a regression in "hcitool scan" failing if it
is issued a second or further times by timing out. I can bisect this in the
kernel to

Bluetooth: Add discovering event to the Management interface

This patch adds a new event to the Management interface to track when
local adapters are discovering remote devices. For now this only tracks
BR/EDR discovery procedures.

Is this a known issue. Might this be an issue with too old bluez utils?
I am using bluez-4.64

Regards
Oliver

It changes hci_event.c so periodic inquiry don't send
mgmt_discovering events.

The discovery patch series adds support for LE-Only and
BR/EDR/LE discovery procedure through management interface
(BR/EDR is already supported).

I'm working on a new version of discovery procedure support and I have
the fix for this issue in that patch series (see [PATCH v2 01/16]
Bluetooth: Periodic Inquiry and mgmt discovering event).

Soon, I'll send the new version of discovery patches to ML.

Hi,

this patch makes it work again.

The checks for HCI_INQUIRY and HCI_MGMT were in the wrong order,
so that second scans always failed.

I think this is a real issue, but it only happens with the HCIINQUIRY
ioctl which bluetoothd doesn't use (but hcitool does). I think the
problems is with the following type of additions in the patch:

+ if (test_bit(HCI_MGMT, &hdev->flags) &&
+ test_and_clear_bit(HCI_INQUIRY, &hdev->flags))
+ mgmt_discovering(hdev->id, 0);

Because of the ordering of the if-statement the HCI_INQUIRY flags
doesn't get cleared if HCI_MGMT is not set and so the HCIINQUIRY ioctl
doesn't trigger inquiry even though it should (see hci_inq_req in
net/bluetooth/hci_core.c). Can you try to flip the ordering of the
test_bit and test_and_clear_bit calls in all relevant if-statements in
the patch and see if it resolves your issue?
