Hi list,
I have some problem when I try to set link mode and link policy using
ioctl() system call. In particular, when I set link policy or link mode,
it seems that nothing happens.
-----------------
int deviceDescriptor;
struct hci_dev_req request;
// Open device
deviceDescriptor = hci_open_dev(deviceID);
[...]
// Set link mode
memset(&request, 0, sizeof(request));
request.dev_id = deviceID;
request.dev_opt = HCI_LM_MASTER;
ioctl(deviceDescriptor, HCISETLINKMODE, (unsigned long) &request);
[...]
// Set link policy
memset(&request, 0, sizeof(request));
request.dev_id = deviceID;
request.dev_opt = policy;
ioctl(deviceDescriptor, HCISETLINKPOL, (unsigned long) &request);
[...]
-----------------
ioctl() system calls do not return any error, but when I check the link
mode and link policy with "hciconfig -a" nothing has changed. Moreover,
I have tried to debug it with "hcidump -V" but no related hci commands
are reported.
Bluez-libs: 2.25
Bluez-utils: 2.25
Have you any idea and/or suggestion?
Thanks,
Marco Pracucci

this can't work. You must allow role switching. The initiator of a
piconet is always the master in the first place. They have to switch the
role to make the acceptor the master. So don't touch the link policy, it
must allow the role switch. Setting the link mode to MASTER will request
an immediate role switch after connection creation. However if both
sides have the MASTER link mode set, you will never get a connection,
because the initiator will refuse the switch the role.

It is not wise at all to work without hcid. And you know that your
custom application must be placed under GPL.

I would become master on incoming connections and I would deny role
switch on outgoing connections. If I'm not wrong, I should set MASTER as
link mode and disable role switch from link policy. However, I can't use
hcid, so I would do this from a custom application.
Is it possible?
Thanks,
Marco

what do you expect from doing this? It is not a good idea to change it
globally except you know exactly what you are doing. Changes these
settings can have implications you might not be aware of. So what is
your purpose on changing them?

Hi Peter,
I would like to set a "global" link mode and link policy that will be
the default for every connection. Something similar to hcid.

Hi Marco,
depending on which level you want to set the linkmode use setsockopt()
for your connection. E.g. for rfcomm use something like :
// set security options for this service
if(authenticate) {
linkmode |= RFCOMM_LM_AUTH ;
if(encrypted) linkmode |= RFCOMM_LM_ENCRYPT ;
}
if (linkmode && setsockopt(sfd, SOL_RFCOMM, RFCOMM_LM, &linkmode, sizeof(linkmode)) < 0) {
close(sfd); sfd = 0 ;
return -1;
}
Ciao,
Peter
