From f161dd4122ffa73e4e12000309dca65bec80d416 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hedberg Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2014 21:06:54 +0300 Subject: Bluetooth: Fix hci_conn reference counting for auto-connections Recently the LE passive scanning and auto-connections feature was introduced. It uses the hci_connect_le() API which returns a hci_conn along with a reference count to that object. All previous users would tie this returned reference to some existing object, such as an L2CAP channel, and there'd be no leaked references this way. For auto-connections however the reference was returned but not stored anywhere, leaving established connections with one higher reference count than they should have. Instead of playing special tricks with hci_conn_hold/drop this patch associates the returned reference from hci_connect_le() with the object that in practice does own this reference, i.e. the hci_conn_params struct that caused us to initiate a connection in the first place. Once the connection is established or fails to establish this reference is removed appropriately. One extra thing needed is to call hci_pend_le_actions_clear() before calling hci_conn_hash_flush() so that the reference is cleared before the hci_conn objects are fully removed.
