Since commit 4c67bc74f016 ("[Bluetooth] Support concurrent connect
requests"), the kernel supports trying to connect again in case the
bluetooth card is busy and fails to connect.

The logic that should handle this became a bit spotty over time, and also
cards these days appear to fail with more errors than just "Command
Disallowed".

This series refactores the handling of concurrent connection requests
by serializing all "Create Connection" commands for ACL connections
similar to how we do it for LE connections.

After rebasing and fixing a little bit here and there, see v4, looks
like this changes is affecting the following mgmt-tester -s "Pair

Thanks for landing the first two commits!

I think this is actually the same issue causing the test failure
as in the other issue I had:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-bluetooth/7cee4e74-3a0c-4b7c-9984-696e646160f8@xxxxxxx/

It seems that the emulator is unable to reply to HCI commands sent
from the hci_sync machinery, possibly because that is sending things
on a separate thread?

Okay I did some further digging now: Turns out this actually not a problem
with vhci and the emulator, but (in this test case) it's actually intended
that there's the command times out, because force_power_off is TRUE for
this test case, and the HCI device gets shut down right after sending the MGMT
command.

The test broke because the "Command Complete" MGMT event comes back with status
"Disconnected" instead of "Not Powered": The reason for that is the
hci_abort_conn_sync() that I added in the case where the "Create Connection" HCI
times out. hci_abort_conn_sync() calls hci_conn_failed() with
HCI_ERROR_LOCAL_HOST_TERM as expected, this in turn calls the hci_connect_cfm()
callback (pairing_complete_cb), and there we we look up HCI_ERROR_LOCAL_HOST_TERM
in mgmt_status_table, ending up with MGMT_STATUS_DISCONNECTED.

When I remove the hci_abort_conn_sync() we get the "Not Powered" failure again,
I'm not exactly sure why that happens (I assume there's some kind of generic mgmt
failure return handler that checks hdev_is_powered() and then sets the error).

So the question now is do we want to adjust the test (and possibly bluetoothd?)
to expect "Disconnected" instead of "Not Powered", or should I get rid of the
hci_abort_conn_sync() again? Fwiw, in hci_le_create_conn_sync() we also clean
up like this on ETIMEDOUT (maybe the spec is just different there?), so
consistency wise it seems better to adjust the test to expect "Disconnected".

Jonas
