This change adds the definition for the load default parameter command.
In particular, this command is used to load default parameters for
various operations in the kernel. This mechanism is also expandable to
future values that may be necessary.
This will allow bluetoothd to load parameters from a conf file that may
be customized for the specific requirements of each platforms.

I remember commenting that we don't have profile information on the
kernel so Im not sure how you are planning to detect the when the
device is HID or not?

The hid profile already sends an op, so it's relatively trivial to carry that information in so we can apply specific scanning requirements for that case (which are less aggressive and therefore have less of an impact to Wifi and BT performance).
Well if we will need to feed that information of the profile type we
might as well just feed the intervals directly, that way any profile
that needs some different parameters than the default can all use the
same command and we don't have to grow this list when a new profile
want to use different parameters.

That might be another option indeed. I wonder how far you'd want to
take this to have the profile provide all the values. At some point,
you'd need some logic that would pick the value that meets all the
profile requirements so if one wants w:100, i:200 and another wants
w:200: i400, you may need to scan at 100% to meet the requirements of
all profiles... I think that with the current proposal, while less
flexible, may avoid this complexity/condition..

Not sure I follow you here, what I had in mind was that the profile
provides its own settings for scanning but perhaps you are saying that
in case there are multiple profiles involved we would have to
aggregate the parameters, well that has to be done either way even if
we use simple types, in which case there can be multiple defaults (one
for each profile) that the kernel must aggregate or we do aggregate
them at userspace and just provide the end result. In the end I guess
this means that the connect scanning parameters should probably be per
device rather than a using a globals with per profile exceptions, much
like connection parameters are per device as well.

The hid profile already sends an op, so it's relatively trivial to carry that information in so we can apply specific scanning requirements for that case (which are less aggressive and therefore have less of an impact to Wifi and BT performance).

Aggregation would be needed, but with simple types, we can have simple logic such as if only hid is added (via the flag, we use the smaller duty cycle provided by the hid parameters defined in this patch), else, we use the passive scanning parameters as we do today. In essence, with this logic, no aggregation of settings is necessary since it is up to the platform who set the various values via their .conf file.
Well you will need to know when to apply the hid params, so to me it
still seems a per device policy, what Im missing?

Not when you are scanning to connect to specifica device, perhaps you
want to expand on where each scanning parameter set takes place then.

So the intend is to switch passive scanning 'modes', perhaps Im
missing an API or policy to do that, or is the indend to do this
automagically? It is a little bit hard to follow given that a system
can have many different peripherals, each with different scanning
requirements, or the idea is to apply HID mode only if there are HID
devices paired?

Hi Luiz, Marcel.
Would you feel more comfortable if I remove the HID only mode
reference from this for now until it is officially introduced in the
kernel?
I'd like to make progress on the rest in the meantime.
Thanks,
Alain

The hid profile already sends an op, so it's relatively trivial to carry that information in so we can apply specific scanning requirements for that case (which are less aggressive and therefore have less of an impact to Wifi and BT performance).

Aggregation would be needed, but with simple types, we can have simple logic such as if only hid is added (via the flag, we use the smaller duty cycle provided by the hid parameters defined in this patch), else, we use the passive scanning parameters as we do today. In essence, with this logic, no aggregation of settings is necessary since it is up to the platform who set the various values via their .conf file.
