Hi Mat,

Allow control of AMP functionality on L2CAP sockets. By default,
connections will be restricted to BR/EDR.  Manipulating the
BT_AMP_POLICY option allows for channels to be moved to or created
on AMP controllers.

so lets brainstorm a little bit with the names here. Do we really wanna
use the term AMP_POLICY? Is it really AMP specific? Or do we better make
ourselves a bit more future proof?

I am currently thinking a bit more generic. Maybe this is not the best
choice, but lets entertain this for a bit. So what about calling this
BT_CHANNEL_POLICY?

And instead of REQUIRE_BR_EDR I would call it BREDR_ONLY.

It's no problem to fine-tune the names.

So, if BT_CHANNEL_POLICY is a good option name, how about these option values:

BT_CHANNEL_POLICY_BREDR_ONLY
BT_CHANNEL_POLICY_AMP_PREFERRED
BT_CHANNEL_POLICY_BREDR_PREFERRED


+/* Prefer AMP
+ *   Allow use of AMP controllers

+ *   If the L2CAP socket has not been connected yet, try to create
+ *     and configure the channel directly on an AMP controller rather
+ *     than BR/EDR.

+/* Prefer BR/EDR

+ *   Channel move requests from the remote device are allowed.
+ */
+#define BT_AMP_POLICY_PREFER_BR_EDR    2

We might also wanna look into the option of having a SCM message in the
socket that tells us the current type. Or at least tells us when we
successfully switched to AMP or back to BR/EDR. Since obviously we are
not blocking on the setsockopt call.

Not sure if applications actually do care, but for OBEX it might be
interesting to know if you are on an AMP controller right now or not.

Yes, that would be a nice feature. OBEX seems to work well even without it, though. The OBEX connection is made over BREDR, and the socket option is changed after the OBEX connection is made but before any gets or puts. What you see in hcidump is that the move starts before the first get or put goes out over BREDR - those OBEX packets sit in the ERTM tx queue while the channel move happens. When the move completes, the transfer immediatly proceeds on the AMP controller.
