From: Joseph Hwang <josephsih@xxxxxxxxxxxx> In bluetooth core specification 4.2, Vol 2, Part E, 7.8.9 LE Set Advertise Enable Command, it says The Controller shall continue advertising until ... or until a connection is created or ... In these cases, advertising is then disabled. Hence, advertising would be disabled before a connection is established. In current kernel implementation, advertising would be re-enabled when all connections are terminated. The correct disconnection flow looks like < HCI Command: Disconnect > HCI Event: Command Status Status: Success > HCI Event: Disconnect Complete Status: Success Specifically, the last Disconnect Complete Event would trigger a callback function hci_event.c:hci_disconn_complete_evt() to cleanup the connection and re-enable advertising when proper. However, sometimes, there might occur an exception in the controller when disconnection is being executed. The disconnection flow might then look like < HCI Command: Disconnect > HCI Event: Command Status Status: Unknown Connection Identifier Note that "> HCI Event: Disconnect Complete" is missing when such an exception occurs. This would result in advertising staying disabled forever since the connection in question is not cleaned up correctly. To fix the controller exception issue, we need to do some connection cleanup when the disconnect command status indicates an error.
