[Bluez PATCH v6 00/10] Bluetooth: Add new MGMT interface for advertising add

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Maintainers,

This patch series defines the new two-call MGMT interface in userspace
for adding advertising instances. Bluez will detect if kernel supports
the new MGMT commands, and use them if so. Each new advertising instance
will be configured by a MGMT call to set advertising parameters,
followed by a MGMT call to set advertising data. The new data pipeline
is meant to be unnoticeable from the clients' perspective, with the
exception of new intervals and tx power support, and new exposed
advertising manager properties.

All changes have been tested on hatch (extended advertising) and kukui
(no extended advertising) chromebooks with manual testing verifying
correctness of parameters/data in btmon traces, and our automated test
suite of 25 single- and multi-advertising usage scenarios.

V2 of the series puts documentation at the front as requested.

Thank you in advance for your review!
Daniel Winkler


Changes in v6:
- Reserve new MGMT codes earlier in series to detect support

Changes in v5:
- Changed interval API from jiffies to milliseconds for clarity
- Changed new dbus endpoints to be experimental
- Only parse new properties if experimental flag is set
- Verify capabilities MGMT command is supported before calling it
- Make SupportedCapabilities experimental

Changes in v4:
- mgmt-api: moved optional params into 'flags' field
- mgmt-api: added info for new return parameters for max data size
- mgmt-api: Move Controller Capabilities MGMT doc into new patch
- mgmt-api: Tx Power range put into single capabilities entry
- Moved optional params into flags field
- Use returned max data length in adv data length check
- Move tx power range into single capability field

Changes in v3:
- Removed Tx Power Selected MGMT event
- Changed Read Security Info cmd to  Read Controller Capabilities
- Added selected tx power to MGMT params response
- Removed Tx Power Selected MGMT event from monitor

Changes in v2:
- Removed extra space in Add Extended Advertising Parameters API
