Hi All,
First of all this is a known issue and it seems a fix is in the works,
but what I do not understand is why the commit causing this has not
simply been reverted until the fix is done, esp. for the 5.0.x
stable series where this was introduced in 5.0.15.
The problem I'm talking about is commit d5bb334a8e17 ("Bluetooth: Align
minimum encryption key size for LE and BR/EDR connections"):
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=d5bb334a8e171b262e48f378bd2096c0ea458265
basically completely breaking all somewhat older (and some current cheap
no-name) bluetooth devices:
A revert of this was first proposed on May 22nd:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/CA+E=qVfopSA90vG2Kkh+XzdYdNn=M-hJN_AptW=R+B5v3HB9eA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/
We are 18 days further now and this problem still exists, including in the
5.0.15+ and 5.1.x stable kernels.
A solution has been suggested: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-bluetooth/20190522070540.48895-1-marcel@xxxxxxxxxxxx/T/#u
and at least the Fedora 5.1.4+ kernels now carry this as a temporary fix,
but as of today I do not see a fix nor a revert in Torvald's tree yet and
neither does there seem to be any fix in the 5.0.x and 5.1.x stable series.
In the mean time we are getting a lot of bug reports about this:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203643
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1711468
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1713871
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1713980
And some reporters:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1713871#c4
Are indicating that the Fedora kernels with the workaround included
still do not work...
Given that things are still broken for some users, I suggest that
for Fedora we replace the workaround with a straight forward revert
of d5bb334a8e17 for now. Also the rawhide kernels are missing the
workaround, so those are currently broken regardless.
Note since Torvald's mastter branch still does not have a fix for this,
Greg has gone with a straight forward revert for all the stable series
including 5.1.x .
This means that the rawhide kernels are currently still broken, I
suggest that we pick-up Greg's revert and add that as a downstream patch
to the rawhide kernels for now.
Greg's patch has not been pushed to the linux-stable repo yet,
so I will forward it to kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Regards,
Hans
