[PATCH v3] Bluetooth: btnxpuart: Resolve TX timeout error in power save stress test

From: Neeraj Sanjay Kale
Date: Wed Dec 27 2023 - 08:28:46 EST


This fixes the tx timeout issue seen while running a stress test on
btnxpuart for couple of hours, such that the interval between two HCI
commands coincide with the power save timeout value of 2 seconds.

Test procedure using bash script:
<load btnxpuart.ko>
hciconfig hci0 up
//Enable Power Save feature
hcitool -i hci0 cmd 3f 23 02 00 00
while (true)
do
hciconfig hci0 leadv
sleep 2
hciconfig hci0 noleadv
sleep 2
done

Error log, after adding few more debug prints:
Bluetooth: btnxpuart_queue_skb(): 01 0A 20 01 00
Bluetooth: hci0: Set UART break: on, status=0
Bluetooth: hci0: btnxpuart_tx_wakeup() tx_work scheduled
Bluetooth: hci0: btnxpuart_tx_work() dequeue: 01 0A 20 01 00
Can't set advertise mode on hci0: Connection timed out (110)
Bluetooth: hci0: command 0x200a tx timeout

When the power save mechanism turns on UART break, and btnxpuart_tx_work()
is scheduled simultaneously, psdata->ps_state is read as PS_STATE_AWAKE,
which prevents the psdata->work from being scheduled, which is responsible
to turn OFF UART break.

This issue is fixed by adding a ps_lock mutex around UART break on/off as
well as around ps_state read/write.
btnxpuart_tx_wakeup() will now read updated ps_state value. If ps_state is
PS_STATE_SLEEP, it will first schedule psdata->work, and then it will
reschedule itself once UART break has been turned off and ps_state is
PS_STATE_AWAKE.

Tested above script for 50,000 iterations and TX timeout error was not
observed anymore.

v2: Add 20msec delay after enabling UART break, cancel ps_work when ps_timer is restarted.
v3: Fix build error. Keep a common delay of 20msec for UART break enable/disable.
