[PATCH 1/2] Bluetooth: Create a unified authentication request function

[johan.hedberg]

From: Johan Hedberg <johan.hedberg@nokia.com>

This patch adds a single function that's responsible for requesting
authentication for outgoing connections. This is preparation for the
next patch which will add automated name requests and thereby move the
authentication requests to a different location.

[PATCH 2/2] Bluetooth: Automate remote name requests

[johan.hedberg]

From: Johan Hedberg <johan.hedberg@nokia.com>

In Bluetooth there are no automatic updates of remote device names when
they get changed on the remote side. Instead, it is a good idea to do a
manual name request when a new connection gets created (for whatever
reason) since at this point it is very cheap (no costly baseband
connection creation needed just for the sake of the name request).

So far userspace has been responsible for this extra name request but
tighter control is needed in order not to flood Bluetooth controllers
with two many commands during connection creation. It has been shown
that some controllers simply fail to function correctly if they get too
many (almost) simultaneous commands during connection creation. The
simplest way to acheive better control of these commands is to move
their sending completely to the kernel side.

This patch inserts name requests into the sequence of events that the
kernel performs during connection creation. It does this after the
remote features have been successfully requested and before any pending
authentication requests are performed. The code will work sub-optimally
with userspace versions that still do the name requesting themselves (it
shouldn't break anything though) so it is recommended to combine this
with a userspace software version that doesn't have automated name
requests.

Could you be bit more explicit about such user space versions that you
recommend? Would latest bluez versions such as 4.80 qualify for your
recommendation?

The automated name requests upon "connect complete" events were removed
in 4.78 so any version from there onwards would qualify.

Maybe there is some way to detect that the kernel is not doing it, or
at least force bluetoothd to resolve once to make sure it can be used
with older kernel versions so it doesn't have to always update as it
was used to be but if we are to authenticate or authorize a device it
should have a name so the ui can display it to the user.

Regarding the kernel version detection, this was certainly considered
but there doesn't seem to be any simple way to do it. However, now that
you mention it, this can certainly be an inconvenient issue with
incoming connections for devices which we've never seen during a device
discovery. Therefore, some kind of a userspace workaround for this would
imho be desirable and I'd certainly be willing to accept a patch for it
as long as it doesn't get too complicated. I suppose it's sufficient if
the patch would be for hciops only since any system running mgmtops
would also have a kernel that does the name request.
