Bug Description

Since installing the latest -proposed kernel for Precise on this system, we are unable to send files over Bluetooth. The test tool we use gives the following output:

ERROR: Browsing 00:27:13:74:F8:E4 ...
Connecting...failed: connect
Tried to connect for 512ms
error on connect(): Invalid argument
Still trying to connect
Connecting...failed: connect
Tried to connect for 512ms
error on connect(): Invalid argument
Still trying to connect
Connecting...failed: connect
Tried to connect for 513ms
error on connect(): Invalid argument
Still trying to connect

This isn't necessarily meaningful, but for sure if we install the last -updates kernel it is able to send the file succesfully every time.

Can you provide information about the test tool and setup so that we can try to reproduce this?

Yes,

On one system you need to install the package 'obexftp' and run it using 'obexftpd -c ~/.obexftpd -b'. Also use 'hciconfig' to get the 'BD Address' of that system. Example:

hci0: Type: BR/EDR Bus: USB
 BD Address: 00:21:86:EA:1C:38 ACL MTU: 1017:8 SCO MTU: 64:8
 UP RUNNING PSCAN
 RX bytes:950 acl:0 sco:0 events:39 errors:0
 TX bytes:425 acl:0 sco:0 commands:39 errors:0

Then on the system affected by the bug you need to make sure obexftp is installed and run:

/usr/share/checkbox/scripts/bluetooth_test /usr/share/checkbox/data/images/JPEG_Color_Image_Ubuntu.jpg <BD Address> send

I have two ways of reproducing this:

A) Using obexftp

- Install obexftp
- obexftp -b 00:27:13:74:F8:E2 -p /etc/hosts #Use the address of another system running "obexftpd -b -c /tmp"

Expected result:
Browsing 00:27:13:74:f8:e2 ...
Connecting..\done
Tried to connect for 160ms
Sending "/etc/passwd".../done
Disconnecting..-done

Actual result:
Browsing 00:27:13:74:F8:E2 ...
Connecting...failed: connect
Tried to connect for 512ms
error on connect(): Invalid argument
Still trying to connect
Connecting...failed: connect
Tried to connect for 476ms
error on connect(): Invalid argument
Still trying to connect
Connecting...failed: connect
Tried to connect for 502ms
error on connect(): Invalid argument

B) Using the panel applet
  - Set a receiver system to be visible through bluetooth, go to personal file sharing and enable receiving files through bluetooth from any system.
 - On the system being tested, select "send file through bluetooth", pick a sample file, select the receiver on the target selection.

Expected result:
- File successfully sent

Actual result:
- File successfully sent? (so apparently this problem only affects obexftp).

We've applied upstream commit 3f6fa3d489e127ca5a5b298eabac3ff5dbe0e112 to the Precise kernel and successfully tested it. It fixes the issue found in this bug.
