Description Błażej Szczygieł 2019-05-18 17:35:57 UTC
Hi,

Since commit d5bb334a8e171b262e48f378bd2096c0ea458265 some devices doesn't connect via bluetooth (like Sixaxis gamepad). 'bluetoothctl' shows that device is connected, and soon after disconnected.

Link for commit which causes the issue: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/d5bb334a8e171b262e48f378bd2096c0ea458265

I checked the "conn->enc_key_size", it reports the value of 0 for Sixaxis gamepad (not the value of 7, which is the minimum encryption key size).

I noticed that other people also having issue after kernel upgrade, but I'm not sure if it exactly the same bug: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/solved-bluetooth-fail-after-2019-05-17-stable-update/87892
Comment 1 JockeTF 2019-05-18 22:10:27 UTC
I can confirm this bug for DualShock 3 as well.
Comment 3 JockeTF 2019-05-21 20:23:38 UTC
Commenting out the if-statement in d5bb334a allows my DualShock 3 controller connect on Linux 4.19.44.
Comment 4 Fabrice Bellet 2019-05-21 20:45:49 UTC
I confirm the bug related to this commit, and to its backported version in 5.0.15. My device is a Sony DR-BT21G headset. 

With this commit, the hcidump reports this error message:
 
> ACL data: handle 256 flags 0x02 dlen 12
     L2CAP(s): Connect req: psm 3 scid 0x0041

    L2CAP(s): Connect rsp: dcid 0x0000 scid 0x0041 result 3 status 0

Without it, the hcidump reports a successful connection:

     L2CAP(s): Connect req: psm 3 scid 0x0041

I cannot connect Logitech BT mouse using kernel 5.0.15 or higher.

Works fine with 5.0.14 or lower.

Comment 8 Vasily Khoruzhick 2019-05-22 00:16:02 UTC
Anyone's planning to send a patch that reverts subj commit?
Comment 9 Fabrice Bellet 2019-05-22 13:34:51 UTC
This RFC patch works for me:

Comment 10 Andriy Perevortkin 2019-05-22 19:11:46 UTC
Sadly the RFC patch above does not fix it for me, the revert does
The device is edifier w330nb headset.

Comment 11 Ura Slacker 2019-05-22 20:30:48 UTC
Just chiming in to report that this bug also affects HHKB-BT Pro (Happy Hacking BT Keyboard).

It happens regardless of which BT controllor/adaptor that I use. I haven't yet had the chance to attempt backing out the change conditional that could be causing the issue in 5.0.16, but will try to find time in the next week or so.

With the breadth of devices that are affected, I imagine this should be fixed quickly.
Comment 12 didierg 2019-05-23 07:58:50 UTC
For my Logitech BT 2.0 mouse, this bug is fixed by Fedora kernel 5.1.4.

Thanks for your efforts.

For reference to others Fedora pulled in the RFC patch to the Fedora 5.1.4 build.
Comment 14 JockeTF 2019-05-29 14:04:19 UTC
I can confirm that the patch fixes the issue for me on Linux 4.19.46.
Comment 15 Lutz Vieweg 2019-05-30 17:22:32 UTC
Just came here to say that "Kensington SlimBlade Trackball Mouse" are also affected by this regression. Bisected this before I found this bug report via the commit id :-)
Comment 16 Angus 2019-06-05 04:59:50 UTC
One more that the RFC patch fixes: "Goldtouch Bluetooth Keyboard" on kernel 5.1.6.
Comment 17 Alexandre Pereira Nunes 2019-06-05 18:58:49 UTC
I have several brandless (Made in china) mice affected by this regression. Up to 5.1.7 at least, the fix wasn't merged (just saying for whomever comes with that doubt in mind).
Comment 18 John 2019-06-07 08:33:46 UTC
Same issue with my Wii U Pro controller, and the RFC patch fixes it as well.

Thanks!

It also did not fix it for my two Sony DualShock 4 Wave Blue CUH-ZCT1 (the issue was reproducible with both), although it did for the following devices:
* Sony DualShock 4 Glacier White CUH-ZCT1 (same generation as the Wave Blue ones);
* Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000;
* Memteq Bluetooth Optical Mouse.

The only way to solve the issue for my two DualShock 4 Wave Blue was to revert the culprit commit, just like it has been done recently -> https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=v5.1.10&id=b528880e8b0167c34cb36c1b4e6165192f76267c

Just to confirm that patch does not work for all devices.
Comment 21 martin.x.andersen 2019-07-01 10:51:03 UTC
This also affects the PS3 Blu-Ray Remote control, which I use for my media server. After many hours of debugging I came across this regression.

Any news on when the fix (revert commit d5bb334a8e171b262e48f378bd2096c0ea458265) will reach upstream?
Comment 22 Matias Karhumaa 2019-07-01 12:26:44 UTC
Hi Martin,

There is another regression: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203997

If the remote control has minimum enc key size of 7, then this is most likely same problem. Could you check with btmon?

Feel free to try the patch posted on mailing list.

Br,
Matias
