Hi Jakub, >>>>> so when I try to connect a LE L2CAP connection to a device that does not exist and then abort it will not have reached the timeout, I get this: >>>>> >>>>> < HCI Command: LE Add Device To White List (0x08|0x0011) plen 7 >>>>> Address type: Public (0x00) >>>>> Address: 11:22:33:44:55:66 (OUI 11-22-33) >>>>>> HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 4 >>>>> LE Add Device To White List (0x08|0x0011) ncmd 1 >>>>> Status: Success (0x00) >>>>> < HCI Command: LE Set Scan Parameters (0x08|0x000b) plen 7 >>>>> Type: Passive (0x00) >>>>> Interval: 60.000 msec (0x0060) >>>>> Window: 30.000 msec (0x0030) >>>>> Own address type: Public (0x00) >>>>> Filter policy: Ignore not in white list (0x01) >>>>>> HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 4 >>>>> LE Set Scan Parameters (0x08|0x000b) ncmd 1 >>>>> Status: Success (0x00) >>>>> < HCI Command: LE Set Scan Enable (0x08|0x000c) plen 2 >>>>> Scanning: Enabled (0x01) >>>>> Filter duplicates: Enabled (0x01) >>>>>> HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 4 >>>>> LE Set Scan Enable (0x08|0x000c) ncmd 1 >>>>> Status: Success (0x00) >>>>> < HCI Command: LE Set Scan Enable (0x08|0x000c) plen 2 >>>>> Scanning: Disabled (0x00) >>>>> Filter duplicates: Disabled (0x00) >>>>>> HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 4 >>>>> LE Set Scan Enable (0x08|0x000c) ncmd 1 >>>>> Status: Success (0x00) >>>>> < HCI Command: LE Set Scan Enable (0x08|0x000c) plen 2 >>>>> Scanning: Disabled (0x00) >>>>> Filter duplicates: Disabled (0x00) >>>>>> HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 4 >>>>> LE Set Scan Enable (0x08|0x000c) ncmd 1 >>>>> Status: Command Disallowed (0x0c) >>>>> >>>>> Notice the two attempts for disabling scanning. We should not do that. This is clearly a bug.

However for that one, I do not have an easy way to reproduce it. But it is essentially the same case, you close the socket / application before the connection has been established. >>>> >>>> in addition when a connect() for LE L2CAP socket call times out, we get an invalid module reference count. >>>> >>>> bluetooth 532480 1 >>>> rfkill 24576 1 bluetooth >>>> >>>> I see it left with an extra reference count.

We are not clearing the reference count correctly when aborting a connection attempt while still in scanning phase. >>> >> Ok, I'll look into that > > So I think that patch I've send fixed that. > I run tools/l2test -V le_public -n 11:22:33:44:55:66 > and kill it, or wait for timeout, and reference count always drops > down to same initial value as before running that command. I applied both patches (you are forgetting --signoff on these) and the module reference count is still out of balance. Try to unload all modules. You will see that bluetooth.ko is left with a reference count.
