So, after "for-net-next-2021-11-16" was pushed into Linus' master, my Laptop's
Bluetooth has been horribly broken; I can't add new devices (says "can't put
your adaptor into Discoverable mode"), and my MS ArcTouch mouse (and who knows
what else) doesn't work anymore. I also get stalls/crashes from the BT system
when trying to shutdown or reboot.

This is a *serious* regression- I had to revert the entirety of that merge.
I keep checking the BT changes that have made it to Linus' master of late (and
even monitoring the Bluetooth git), after nearly 6 weeks, BT is still broken-
certainly I can't be the only person seeing these issues. I did see where
someone had a regression about not being able to do scans, and that was fixed,
but trying that commit (since merged to master) doesn't fix anything for me.

My BT adaptor is an Intel AX201 on USB:

What can I do to help you fix this?

Have you tried with bluetooth.git tree:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bluetooth/bluetooth.git/

This was the latest one that fixes the MGMT commands not working:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bluetooth/bluetooth.git/commit/?h=for-net-2022-03-03&id=008ee9eb8a11bcabf12c91771dd4f470b082bd44

It seems some setups are more susceptible to it than others and CI was
one of those when only one MGMT command is ever pending which masked
the problem for us for a while.

Yup, that seems to have fixed things! I've even merged that with Linus' current
master (which went in cleanly) and will look for these changes to me merged in.

Thanks to you and everyone else who helped find and fix this regression!
