Nick Koston" <nick@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2025 15:12:39 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] device: Fix device removal on le-connection-abort-by-local When a LE connection fails with le-connection-abort-by-local, temporary devices are incorrectly removed from D-Bus, preventing clients from retrying the connection. The issue occurs when: 1. A connection attempt fails with ECONNABORTED (including the le-connection-abort-by-local case) 2. The device is added to the connect list for automatic retry 3. The temporary timer (30s by default) is not restarted 4. If the timer expires before the retry completes, the device is removed from D-Bus 5. Subsequent retry attempts fail with "device not found" This commonly happens with devices that abort connections during pairing or when incomplete GATT discovery triggers an abort. The fix restarts the temporary timer when ECONNABORTED occurs, ensuring the device remains available on D-Bus for the retry attempt. This matches the behavior when new connection attempts are initiated, where the timer is restarted to allow time for connection/pairing to complete. Reproducer logs show: - 14:19:37.374 - le-connection-abort-by-local, retry queued - 14:19:56.343 - Device removed from D-Bus (~19s later) - 14:19:56.606 - Retry fails: device not found on D-Bus With this fix, the device remains available for the retry, allowing the connection to succeed on subsequent attempts.
