From 696bd3622138bfad0dda9ad7311886b8e6f5ea10 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Mateusz=20Jo=C5=84czyk?= Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2022 21:28:56 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: silence a dmesg error message in hci_request.c MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit On kernel 6.1-rcX, I have been getting the following dmesg error message on every boot, resume from suspend and rfkill unblock of the Bluetooth device: Bluetooth: hci0: HCI_REQ-0xfcf0 After some investigation, it turned out to be caused by commit dd50a864ffae ("Bluetooth: Delete unreferenced hci_request code") which modified hci_req_add() in net/bluetooth/hci_request.c to always print an error message when it is executed. In my case, the function was executed by msft_set_filter_enable() in net/bluetooth/msft.c, which provides support for Microsoft vendor opcodes. As explained by Brian Gix, "the error gets logged because it is using a deprecated (but still working) mechanism to issue HCI opcodes" [1]. So this is just a debugging tool to show that a deprecated function is executed. As such, it should not be included in the mainline kernel. See for example commit 771c035372a0 ("deprecate the '__deprecated' attribute warnings entirely and for good") Additionally, this error message is cryptic and the user is not able to do anything about it.
