I totally agree that it's not a wise thing to outsmart the symmetric hci_dev_do_{open,close}. However, the following two cases justify why we need this change. (1) The current symmetric calls to msft_do{open,close} in hci_dev_do_{open,close} cause incorrect MSFT features during bluetoothd start-up. After the kernel powers on the controller to register the hci_dev, it performs hci_dev_do_close() which call msft_do_close() and MSFT data gets wiped out. And then during the startup of bluetoothd, Adv Monitor Manager relies on reading the MSFT features from the kernel to present the feature set of the controller to D-Bus clients. However, the power state of the controller is off during the init of D-Bus interfaces. As a result, invalid MSFT features are returned by the kernel, since it was previously wiped out due to hci_dev_do_close(). (2) Assuming bluetoothd has started, and users can be toggling the power state of the adapter. Powering off the adapter invokes hci_power_off()->hci_dev_do_close()->msft_do_close(), and MSFT features get wiped out. During powered-off period, D-Bus client can still add/remove monitor from the kernel, and the kernel needs to issue corresponding MSFT HCI commands to the controller. However, the MSFT opcode has been reset and invalid. And here is the trace (for case 1 above) that I captured without this change. 2021-01-15T01:34:43.800155Z INFO kernel: [ 2.754911] Bluetooth: hci_power_on() @@ call hci_dev_do_open 2021-01-15T01:34:45.145025Z INFO kernel: [ 4.272376] Bluetooth: hci_dev_do_open() @@ call msft_do_open 2021-01-15T01:34:45.145050Z INFO kernel: [ 4.272382] Bluetooth: msft_do_open() @@ 2021-01-15T01:34:45.146020Z INFO kernel: [ 4.273139] Bluetooth: read_supported_features() @@ features 000000000000003f 2021-01-15T01:34:47.176410Z INFO kernel: [ 6.303439] Bluetooth: hci_power_off() @@ call hci_dev_do_close 2021-01-15T01:34:47.189020Z INFO kernel: [ 6.316152] Bluetooth: hci_dev_do_close() @@ call msft_do_close 2021-01-15T01:34:47.189032Z INFO kernel: [ 6.316158] Bluetooth: msft_do_close() @@ 2021-01-15T01:34:47.957401Z INFO bluetoothd[2591]: Bluetooth daemon 5.54 // skip some logs here 2021-01-15T01:34:48.004066Z INFO bluetoothd[2591]: Bluetooth management interface 1.14 initialized 2021-01-15T01:34:48.167703Z INFO bluetoothd[2591]: @@ call btd_adv_monitor_manager_create 2021-01-15T01:34:48.167832Z INFO bluetoothd[2591]: @@ call MGMT_OP_READ_ADV_MONITOR_FEATURES 2021-01-15T01:34:48.167886Z INFO bluetoothd[2591]: Battery Provider Manager created 2021-01-15T01:34:48.171924Z INFO bluetoothd[2591]: @@ features supported_features 00000000 enabled_features 00000000 2021-01-15T01:34:48.172088Z INFO kernel: [ 7.299305] Bluetooth: hci_power_on() @@ call hci_dev_do_open 2021-01-15T01:34:48.172083Z INFO bluetoothd[2591]: Adv Monitor Manager created with supported features:0x00000000, enabled features:0x00000000, max number of supported monitors:32, max number of supported patterns:16 2021-01-15T01:34:48.207800Z INFO bluetoothd[2591]: Endpoint registered: sender=:1.52 path=/org/chromium/Cras/Bluetooth/A2DPSource 2021-01-15T01:34:48.212522Z INFO bluetoothd[2591]: Player registered: sender=:1.52 path=/org/chromium/Cras/Bluetooth/DefaultPlayer 2021-01-15T01:34:48.214813Z INFO bluetoothd[2591]: BlueZ log level is set to 1 2021-01-15T01:34:48.230035Z INFO kernel: [ 7.357118] Bluetooth: hci_dev_do_open() @@ call msft_do_open 2021-01-15T01:34:48.230063Z INFO kernel: [ 7.357124] Bluetooth: msft_do_open() @@ 2021-01-15T01:34:48.231027Z INFO kernel: [ 7.358131] Bluetooth: read_supported_features() @@ features 000000000000003f 2021-01-15T01:34:48.248967Z INFO bluetoothd[2591]: adapter /org/bluez/hci0 has been enabled 2021-01-15T01:34:49.176198Z INFO bluetoothd[2591]: adapter /org/bluez/hci0 set power to 1 Thanks, Miao
