Subject: [PATCH v2] Bluetooth: Always call advertising disable before setting params
In __hci_req_enable_advertising, the HCI_LE_ADV hdev flag is temporarily
cleared to allow the random address to be set, which exposes a race
condition when an advertisement is configured immediately (<10ms) after
software rotation starts to refresh an advertisement.
In normal operation, the HCI_LE_ADV flag is updated as follows:
1. adv_timeout_expire is called, HCI_LE_ADV gets cleared in
__hci_req_enable_advertising, but hci_req configures an enable
request
2. hci_req is run, enable callback re-sets HCI_LE_ADV flag
However, in this race condition, the following occurs:
1. adv_timeout_expire is called, HCI_LE_ADV gets cleared in
__hci_req_enable_advertising, but hci_req configures an enable
request
2. add_advertising is called, which also calls
__hci_req_enable_advertising. Because HCI_LE_ADV was cleared in Step
1, no "disable" command is queued.
3. hci_req for adv_timeout_expire is run, which enables advertising and
re-sets HCI_LE_ADV
4. hci_req for add_advertising is run, but because no "disable" command
was queued, we try to set advertising parameters while advertising is
active, causing a Command Disallowed error, failing the registration.
To resolve the issue, this patch removes the check for the HCI_LE_ADV
flag, and always queues the "disable" request, since HCI_LE_ADV could be
very temporarily out-of-sync. According to the spec, there is no harm in
calling "disable" when advertising is not active.
An example trace showing the HCI error in setting advertising parameters
is included below, with some notes annotating the states I mentioned
above:
