The HIDP specs define an idle-timeout which automatically disconnects a device. This has always been implemented in the HIDP layer and forced a synchronous shutdown of the hidp-scheduler. This works just fine, but lacks a forced disconnect on the underlying l2cap channels. This has been broken since: commit 5205185d461d5902325e457ca80bd421127b7308 Author: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Apr 6 20:28:47 2013 +0200 Bluetooth: hidp: remove old session-management The old session-management always forced an l2cap error on the ctrl/intr channels when shutting down. The new session-management skips this, as we don't want to enforce channel policy on the caller. In other words, if user-space removes an HIDP device, the underlying channels (which are *owned* and *referenced* by user-space) are still left active. User-space needs to call shutdown(2) or close(2) to release them. Unfortunately, this does not work with idle-timeouts. There is no way to signal user-space that the HIDP layer has been stopped. The API simply does not support any event-passing except for poll(2). Hence, we restore old behavior and force EUNATCH on the sockets if the HIDP layer is disconnected due to idle-timeouts (behavior of explicit disconnects remains unmodified). User-space can still call getsockopt(..., SO_ERROR, ...) ..to retrieve the EUNATCH error and clear sk_err. Hence, the channels can still be re-used (which nobody does so far, though). Therefore, the API still supports the new behavior, but with this patch it's also compatible to the old implicit channel shutdown.

This should fix the reported issues! I like the implementation much more than calling shutdown(2) implicitly in the kernel. With sk_err we avoid enforcing a behavior and let user-space deal with it. Btw., this needs back-porting to >=3.10 (which introduced the new session management). Thanks for the report!
