On kernel 6.1-rcX, I have been getting the following dmesg error message
on every boot, resume from suspend and rfkill unblock of the Bluetooth
device:
Bluetooth: hci0: HCI_REQ-0xfcf0
After some investigation, it turned out to be caused by
commit dd50a864ffae ("Bluetooth: Delete unreferenced hci_request code")
which modified hci_req_add() in net/bluetooth/hci_request.c to always
print an error message when it is executed. In my case, the function was
executed by msft_set_filter_enable() in net/bluetooth/msft.c, which
provides support for Microsoft vendor opcodes.
As explained by Brian Gix, "the error gets logged because it is using a
deprecated (but still working) mechanism to issue HCI opcodes" [1]. So
this is just a debugging tool to show that a deprecated function is
executed. As such, it should not be included in the mainline kernel.
See for example
commit 771c035372a0 ("deprecate the '__deprecated' attribute warnings entirely and for good")
Additionally, this error message is cryptic and the user is not able to
do anything about it.

This has a patch that fixes the usage of the deprecated HCI_REQ
mechanism rather than hiding the fact it is being called, as in this
case.
I am still waiting for someone to give me a "Tested-By:" tag to patch:
[PATCH 1/1] Bluetooth: Convert MSFT filter HCI cmd to hci_sync
Which will also stop the dmesg error. If you could try that patch, and
resend it to the list with a Tested-By tag, it can be applied.
We still want to be allerted to deprecated usage situations.

Hello,
I did not receive this patch, as I was not on the CC list; I was not
aware of it. I will test it shortly.
Any guidelines how I should test this functionality? I have a Sony Xperia 10 i4113
mobile phone with LineageOS 19.1 / Android 12L, which according to the spec supports
Bluetooth 5.0. Quick Google search tells me that I should do things like
hcitool lescan
to discover the phone, then use gatttool to list the services, etc.
Greetings,
Mateusz

Whatever you were running that produced the
"Bluetooth: hci0: HCI_REQ-0xfcf0"
error in the dmesg log should be sufficient to determine that the error
log is no longer happening. The HCI call is necessary on some
platforms, so the absense of other negative behavior should be
sufficient to verify that the call is still being made. The code flow
itself has not changed, and new coding enforces the HCI command
sequence, so that it is more deterministric than it was with
hci_request. The hci_request mechanism was an asyncronous request.

Hello,
Thank you. I would like to ask: is this patch going to be merged for kernel 6.1?
The error message that this patch silences will no doubt confuse some users
if it will be released in Linux 6.1.0.
Greetings,
Mateusz
