This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled Bluetooth: hci_event: set the conn encrypted before conn establishes to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: bluetooth-hci_event-set-the-conn-encrypted-before-conn-establishes.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From c569242cd49287d53b73a94233db40097d838535 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hui Wang <hui.wang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2024 12:30:30 +0800 Subject: Bluetooth: hci_event: set the conn encrypted before conn establishes From: Hui Wang <hui.wang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit c569242cd49287d53b73a94233db40097d838535 upstream. We have a BT headset (Lenovo Thinkplus XT99), the pairing and connecting has no problem, once this headset is paired, bluez will remember this device and will auto re-connect it whenever the device is powered on. The auto re-connecting works well with Windows and Android, but with Linux, it always fails. Through debugging, we found at the rfcomm connection stage, the bluetooth stack reports "Connection refused - security block (0x0003)". For this device, the re-connecting negotiation process is different from other BT headsets, it sends the Link_KEY_REQUEST command before the CONNECT_REQUEST completes, and it doesn't send ENCRYPT_CHANGE command during the negotiation. When the device sends the "connect complete" to hci, the ev->encr_mode is 1. So here in the conn_complete_evt(), if ev->encr_mode is 1, link type is ACL and HCI_CONN_ENCRYPT is not set, we set HCI_CONN_ENCRYPT to this conn, and update conn->enc_key_size accordingly. After this change, this BT headset could re-connect with Linux successfully. This is the btmon log after applying the patch, after receiving the "Connect Complete" with "Encryption: Enabled", will send the command to read encryption key size: > HCI Event: Connect Request (0x04) plen 10 Address: 8C:3C:AA:D8:11:67 (OUI 8C-3C-AA) Class: 0x240404 Major class: Audio/Video (headset, speaker, stereo, video, vcr) Minor class: Wearable Headset Device Rendering (Printing, Speaker) Audio (Speaker, Microphone, Headset) Link type: ACL (0x01) .. > HCI Event: Link Key Request (0x17) plen 6 Address: 8C:3C:AA:D8:11:67 (OUI 8C-3C-AA) < HCI Command: Link Key Request Reply (0x01|0x000b) plen 22 Address: 8C:3C:AA:D8:11:67 (OUI 8C-3C-AA) Link key: ${32-hex-digits-key} .. > HCI Event: Connect Complete (0x03) plen 11 Status: Success (0x00) Handle: 256 Address: 8C:3C:AA:D8:11:67 (OUI 8C-3C-AA) Link type: ACL (0x01) Encryption: Enabled (0x01) < HCI Command: Read Encryption Key...
