maybe the first time I tried connecting I didn't specify that the address was a random address for the connection to the GATT Server running on my phone using nRF. I do have this patch in place to remove the check on le_num_slave as per the suggestion by Luiz @@ -4651,6 +4652,7 @@ static struct hci_conn *check_pending_le_conn(struct hci_dev *hdev, struct hci_conn *conn; struct hci_conn_params *params; +printk(KERN_ERR "%s: le_num_slave =3D %d\n", __func__, hdev->conn_hash.le_num_slave); /* If the event is not connectable don't proceed further */ if (adv_type !=3D LE_ADV_IND && adv_type !=3D LE_ADV_DIRECT_IND) return NULL; @@ -4662,8 +4664,10 @@ static struct hci_conn *check_pending_le_conn(struct hci_dev *hdev, /* Most controller will fail if we try to create new connections * while we have an existing one in slave role. */ +#if 0 if (hdev->conn_hash.le_num_slave > 0) return NULL; +#endif /* If we're not connectable only connect devices that we have in * our pend_le_conns list.
