Since you will not be resetting the driver here. You just tell the core stack to reset itself and with HCI_Reset hopefully bring the hardware back to life. Or if the ncmd=0 is a hardware bug, just start sending a new command.

	if (!test_bit(HCI_RESET, &hdev->flags)) {
		if (ev->ncmd) {
			cancel_delayed_work(&hdev->ncmd_timer);
			atomic_set(&hdev->cmd_cnt, 1);

	}

I think doing it this way is a bit cleaner and avoid the check of !ncmd and !HCI_RESET twice.

And I wonder if there isn’t a cancel_delayed_work missing in hci_dev_do_close or some related location when we are shutting down.

What do we do when this happens during HCI_INIT. I think if ncmd_timer triggers during HCI_INIT, then hci_up needs to be aborted and no hardware error event to be injected.

In addition since you are now calling hci_reset_dev also from the core stack (perviously, it was just up to the drivers to do that), I would add an extra error.

 }

This has the advantage that if you take a btmon trace, you know this event is injected. Or more precisely eventually will be able to know since we haven’t merged my patches yet that will redirect bt_dev_{err,warn,..} into btmon as well.
