      [Bluetooth] Use ACL config stage to retrieve remote features · 769be974
      Marcel Holtmann authored
      The Bluetooth technology introduces new features on a regular basis
      and for some of them it is important that the hardware on both sides
      support them. For features like Simple Pairing it is important that
      the host stacks on both sides have switched this feature on. To make
      valid decisions, a config stage during ACL link establishment has been
      introduced that retrieves remote features and if needed also the remote
      extended features (known as remote host features) before signalling
      this link as connected.
      
      This change introduces full reference counting of incoming and outgoing
      ACL links and the Bluetooth core will disconnect both if no owner of it
      is present. To better handle interoperability during the pairing phase
      the disconnect timeout for incoming connections has been increased to
      10 seconds. This is five times more than for outgoing connections.

      [Bluetooth] Export remote Simple Pairing mode via sysfs · a8bd28ba
      Marcel Holtmann authored
      Since the remote Simple Pairing mode is stored together with the
      inquiry cache, it makes sense to show it together with the other
      information.

      [Bluetooth] Track status of remote Simple Pairing mode · 41a96212
      Marcel Holtmann authored
      The Simple Pairing process can only be used if both sides have the
      support enabled in the host stack. The current Bluetooth specification
      has three ways to detect this support.
      
      If an Extended Inquiry Result has been sent during inquiry then it
      is safe to assume that Simple Pairing is enabled. It is not allowed
      to enable Extended Inquiry without Simple Pairing. During the remote
      name request phase a notification with the remote host supported
      features will be sent to indicate Simple Pairing support. Also the
      second page of the remote extended features can indicate support for
      Simple Pairing.
      
      For all three cases the value of remote Simple Pairing mode is stored
      in the inquiry cache for later use.

      [Bluetooth] Track status of Simple Pairing mode · 333140b5
      Marcel Holtmann authored
      The Simple Pairing feature is optional and needs to be enabled by the
      host stack first. The Linux kernel relies on the Bluetooth daemon to
      either enable or disable it, but at any time it needs to know the
      current state of the Simple Pairing mode. So track any changes made
      by external entities and store the current mode in the HCI device
      structure.

      [Bluetooth] Disable disconnect timer during Simple Pairing · 0493684e
      Marcel Holtmann authored
      During the Simple Pairing process the HCI disconnect timer must be
      disabled. The way to do this is by holding a reference count of the
      HCI connection. The Simple Pairing process on both sides starts with
      an IO Capabilities Request and ends with Simple Pairing Complete.

      [Bluetooth] Update class of device value whenever possible · c7bdd502
      Marcel Holtmann authored
      The class of device value can only be retrieved via inquiry or during
      an incoming connection request. Outgoing connections can't ask for the
      class of device. To compensate for this the value is stored and copied
      via the inquiry cache, but currently only updated via inquiry. This
      update should also happen during an incoming connection request.

      [Bluetooth] Make use of the default link policy settings · e4e8e37c
      Marcel Holtmann authored
      The Bluetooth specification supports the default link policy settings
      on a per host controller basis. For every new connection the link
      manager would then use these settings. It is better to use this instead
      of bothering the controller on every connection setup to overwrite the
      default settings.

      [Bluetooth] Track connection packet type changes · a8746417
      Marcel Holtmann authored
      The connection packet type can be changed after the connection has been
      established and thus needs to be properly tracked to ensure that the
      host stack has always correct and valid information about it.
      
      On incoming connections the Bluetooth core switches the supported packet
      types to the configured list for this controller. However the usefulness
      of this feature has been questioned a lot. The general consent is that
      every Bluetooth host stack should enable as many packet types as the
      hardware actually supports and leave the decision to the link manager
      software running on the Bluetooth chip.
      
      When running on Bluetooth 2.0 or later hardware, don't change the packet
      type for incoming connections anymore. This hardware likely supports
      Enhanced Data Rate and thus leave it completely up to the link manager
      to pick the best packet type.

      [Bluetooth] Support the case when headset falls back to SCO link · 9dc0a3af
      Marcel Holtmann authored
      When trying to establish an eSCO link between two devices then it can
      happen that the remote device falls back to a SCO link. Currently this
      case is not handled correctly and the message dispatching will break
      since it is looking for eSCO packets. So in case the configured link
      falls back to SCO overwrite the link type with the correct value.

      [Bluetooth] Update authentication status after successful encryption · ae293196
      Marcel Holtmann authored
      The authentication status is not communicated to both parties. This is
      actually a flaw in the Bluetooth specification. Only the requesting side
      really knows if the authentication was successful or not. This piece of
      information is however needed on the other side to know if it has to
      trigger the authentication procedure or not. Worst case is that both
      sides will request authentication at different times, but this should
      be avoided since it costs extra time when setting up a new connection.
      
      For Bluetooth encryption it is required to authenticate the link first
      and the encryption status is communicated to both sides. So when a link
      is switched to encryption it is possible to update the authentication
      status since it implies an authenticated link.

      [Bluetooth] Disconnect when encryption gets disabled · 9719f8af
      Marcel Holtmann authored
      The Bluetooth specification allows to enable or disable the encryption
      of an ACL link at any time by either the peer or the remote device. If
      a L2CAP or RFCOMM connection requested an encrypted link, they will now
      disconnect that link if the encryption gets disabled. Higher protocols
      that don't care about encryption (like SDP) are not affected.

      [Bluetooth] Enforce security for outgoing RFCOMM connections · 77db1980
      Marcel Holtmann authored
      Recent tests with various Bluetooth headsets have shown that some of
      them don't enforce authentication and encryption when connecting. All
      of them leave it up to the host stack to enforce it. Non of them should
      allow unencrypted connections, but that is how it is. So in case the
      link mode settings require authentication and/or encryption it will now
      also be enforced on outgoing RFCOMM connections. Previously this was
      only done for incoming connections.
      
      This support has a small drawback from a protocol level point of view
      since the host stack can't really tell with 100% certainty if a remote
      side is already authenticated or not. So if both sides are configured
      to enforce authentication it will be requested twice. Most Bluetooth
      chips are caching this information and thus no extra authentication
      procedure has to be triggered over-the-air, but it can happen.

      [Bluetooth] Change retrieval of L2CAP features mask · 79d554a6
      Marcel Holtmann authored
      Getting the remote L2CAP features mask is really important, but doing
      this as less intrusive as possible is tricky. To play nice with older
      systems and Bluetooth qualification testing, the features mask is now
      only retrieved in two specific cases and only once per lifetime of an
      ACL link.
      
      When trying to establish a L2CAP connection and the remote features mask
      is unknown, the L2CAP information request is sent when the ACL link goes
      into connected state. This applies only to outgoing connections and also
      only for the connection oriented channels.
      
      The second case is when a connection request has been received. In this
      case a connection response with the result pending and the information
      request will be send. After receiving an information response or if the
      timeout gets triggered, the normal connection setup process with security
      setup will be initiated.
