Isn't that what the following code does: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bluetooth/bluetooth.git/tree/net/bluetooth/hci_request.c#n1386 > Bluetooth in kernel is responsible for re-enabling advertisement?

Yes it is the kernel which re-enables it and it has been doing this for a long while so I wonder why all of the a sudden we are discussing about it.
