Current version of the configuration structure: struct virtio_bt_config { __u8 type; __u16 vendor; __u16 msft_opcode; } __attribute__((packed)); has both 16bit fields non-aligned. This commit fixes it. [1] https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=""> Signed-off-by: Igor Skalkin <Igor.Skalkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>This is all true enough, but the problem is 1. changing uapi like this can't be done, will break userspace 2. the driver has more issues and no one seems to want to maintain it. I posted a patch "Bluetooth: virtio_bt: mark broken" and intend to merge it for this release.
This is very sad. We already use this driver in our projects.
Our virtio bluetooth device has two backends - HCI_USER socket backend for one
platform and uart backend for the other, and works well (after applying your
"[PATCH] Bluetooth: virtio_bt: fix device remove") patch, so this "device
removal" problem can probably be considered solved .
We could help with the rest of the problems you listed that can be solved
(specification, QEMU support).
And the only problem that is difficult to solve (because of the need to change
UAPI header files) is just this one with unaligned configuration fields.
At the moment, it does not reproduce, because without VIRTIO_BT_F_VND_HCI
(Indicates vendor command support) feature negotiated, the driver does not
read the non-aligned configuration fields.
So, what would you advise us to do? Continuing to use the "marked broken"
driver, start writing a specification for a new from scratch, better one?
Or is there any way to bring this one back to life?
