Looks like I was able to reproduce but I still don't know the cause, anyway the symptom is the following: [23412.856410] remove_uuid:2273: hci0: sock 0000000049dcd70a [23412.856467] mgmt_class_complete:2174: hci0: err 0 [23412.856470] mgmt_cmd_complete:176: sock 00000000d63e046a It looks like the cmd->sk is wrong/corrupted, what is even more strange is that the socket pointer does seem to match previously connected MGMT clients and after a few attempts with btmgmt> power on it does come back to life, very bizarre... Can you try to enable some kernel debugs before you start bluetoothd: echo "file net/bluetooth/mgmt.c +pfl" > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control echo "file net/bluetooth/mgmt_util.c +pfl" > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control Maybe that should give us a clue what triggers it. > > > >> > > > >> -- > > > >> Luiz Augusto von Dentz > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > -- > > Luiz Augusto von Dentz > > > > -- > Luiz Augusto von Dentz -- Luiz Augusto von Dentz
