Hi, I noticed that my BLE dongle does not return peer address in LE Connection Complete event after connection attempt was cancelled with LE Create Connection Cancel command, as follows: 2012-05-07 11:21:39.133378 < HCI Command: LE Create Connection (0x08|0x000d) plen 25 bdaddr 00:22:D0:10:13:EE type 1 2012-05-07 11:21:39.138774 > HCI Event: Command Status (0x0f) plen 4 LE Create Connection (0x08|0x000d) status 0x00 ncmd 1 2012-05-07 11:21:44.752854 < HCI Command: LE Create Connection Cancel (0x08|0x000e) plen 0 2012-05-07 11:21:44.759475 > HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 4 LE Create Connection Cancel (0x08|0x000e) ncmd 1 2012-05-07 11:21:44.764479 > HCI Event: LE Meta Event (0x3e) plen 19 LE Connection Complete status 0x02 handle 0, role master bdaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00 (Public) This causes problems in kernel since hci_conn is not properly removed and subsequent connections to this peer are not possible - since connection with peer 00:00:00:00:00:00 does not exist, it will be created and immediately removed (due to non-zero status code) leaving original hci_conn intact: [14898.739425] [6603] hci_connect: hci0 dst 00:22:D0:10:13:EE [14898.739429] [6603] hci_conn_add: hci0 dst 00:22:D0:10:13:EE [14898.739434] [6603] hci_conn_init_sysfs: conn ffff880079f03000 [14898.739440] [6603] hci_send_cmd: hci0 opcode 0x200d plen 25 [14898.739443] [6603] hci_send_cmd: skb len 28 [14898.739487] [6603] hci_chan_create: hci0 conn ffff880079f03000 ...

This is what is returned. And since we can have only one LE connection in BT_CONNECT state we can safely handle failed LE Connection Complete event based on what is stored in existing in hci_conn rather than in event. This is what my following patch does.
