Hello, I'm trying to understand the following piece of kernel code in rfcomm/sock.c. rfcomm_sock_connect -> rfcomm_dlc_open -> bt_sock_wait_state The last procedure waits until the sk's state changes to BT_CONNECTED. 1. When creating sk socket the sk_sndtimeo member of sk is initialized to RFCOMM_CONN_TIMEOUT, which in my kernel code is HZ * 30 which, as I see it, should be 30 seconds. However after enabling debug, I can see that the timeout returned by sock_sndtimeo is 7500. How could this be? 2. What is the role of the bt_sock_wait_state? If timeout expires it returns error code 115 (EINPROGRESS). What does the situation look like here? Is the client still trying to connect to a remote device? If so, how should the client program handle this error code? Is ignoring it a good option or should it rather call the rfcomm_socket_release function? What would happen if the client tried to connect to the same remote device using rfcomm_sock_connect after receiving this error code? Is there a way to notify the client that the connection was made (BT_CONNECTED) without waiting on the bt_sock_wait_state function. 3. Is there a way to control this timeout in a more flexible fashion or is it impossible due to some BT specification bits? Thanks in advance for all the answers. Your support and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
