            Bug ID: 177061
           Summary: Version 5.42-1 of bluez prevents the computer from
                    receiving files over bluetooth
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 4.7.7
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Bluetooth
          Assignee: linux-bluetooth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
          Reporter: cribari@xxxxxxxxx
        Regression: No

Description: After upgrading bluez, bluez-libs and bluez-utils from version
5.41-2 to version 5.42-1 (Arch Linux) I am no longer able to send files from my
Android devices (cell phone and tablet) to my notebook (Dell XPS 13, model
9343, with Intel wifi+bluetooth card). (The Android devices are marked as
"Trusted".) I am able to send files from the computer to the Android devices,
but not the other way around. 

Additional info:
* package version(s)

bluez, bluez-libs and bluez-utils to version 5.42-1

* config and/or log files etc.

Note: I noticed that my last successful file transfer from my Android devices
to my notebook (which runs Arch Linux) was on September 26, 2016. I then
noticed that on that day Bluez was updated:

[2016-09-26 13:11] [ALPM] upgraded bluez-utils (5.41-2 -> 5.42-1)
[2016-09-26 13:11] [ALPM] upgraded bluez-libs (5.41-2 -> 5.42-1)
[2016-09-26 13:11] [ALPM] upgraded bluez (5.41-2 -> 5.42-1)

I then downgraded bluez, bluez-libs and bluez-utils to version 5.41-2 and I can
now send files from my cell phone and tablet to my notebook again. Hence, I
believe there is a problem with version 5.42.1 of bluez. With that installed
bluetooth is functional except for one thing: the computer does not receive
files over bluetooth. 

I believe the problem was introduced by the following commit:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/bluetooth/bluez.git/commit/?id=dcbc28940118a14ce175153e5f006551600e9244


Steps to reproduce:

Using version 5.42-1 of bluez, bluez-libs and bluez-utils pair an Android
device to the computer and try to send a file from the Android device to the
computer (not the other way around).
