Description Robert Nichols 2010-03-25 04:23:47 UTC 
Description of problem:
After a brief period of inactivity, my bluetooth mouse often loses its connection. If I move the mouse and keep pressing buttons, eventually the mouse resets itself internally and re-establishes the connection, but that can take 30 seconds or so.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.32.9-70.fc12.i686

How reproducible:
Always occurs eventually, but might take 10 or 20 minutes of normal use before the disconnect occurs.  Sometimes occurs maddeningly often, though, enough to make the bluetooth mouse essentially useless.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just boot into the normal Gnome desktop and use the system and mouse normally.
  
Actual results:
On occasion, when you stop using the mouse for a few seconds it loses its connection and becomes unresponsive until the connection is re-established.

Expected results:
The connection should not be lost, certainly not unless the mouse has been idle for quite a long time.

Additional info:
Bluetooth adapter: ID 0a5c:2101 Broadcom Corp. A-Link BlueUsbA2 Bluetooth
Mouse: Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 500
bluez-4.58-1.fc12.i686
bluez-libs-4.58-1.fc12.i686
bluez-compat-4.58-1.fc12.i686

With the 2.6.32.9-67 or 2.6.32.9-70 kernels, the light on the bluetooth adapter stop flashing whenever I stop moving the mouse and 3 messages are logged immediately:

   kernel: btusb_intr_complete: hci0 urb f19d0500 failed to resubmit (1)
   kernel: btusb_bulk_complete: hci0 urb f19d0c00 failed to resubmit (1)
   kernel: btusb_bulk_complete: hci0 urb f19d0000 failed to resubmit (1)
(The hex number varies.)

When the connection actually drops, these messages are logged:
   bluetoothd[1378]: HCI dev 0 down
   kernel: btusb 7-1:1.0: no reset_resume for driver btusb?
   bluetoothd[1378]: Adapter /org/bluez/1370/hci0 has been disabled
   bluetoothd[1378]: Stopping security manager 0
   kernel: btusb 7-1:1.1: no reset_resume for driver btusb?
   bluetoothd[1378]: HCI dev 0 unregistered
   bluetoothd[1378]: Unregister path: /org/bluez/1370/hci0
   bluetoothd[1378]: HCI dev 0 registered
   bluetoothd[1378]: HCI dev 0 up
   bluetoothd[1378]: Starting security manager 0
   bluetoothd[1378]: Parsing /etc/bluetooth/serial.conf failed: No such file or directory
   bluetoothd[1378]: Adapter /org/bluez/1370/hci0 has been enabled


With kernel-2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.i686, I do not get those "failed to resubmit" messages, the light on the bluetooth adapter continues to flash slowly while the mouse is inactive, and the connection is not lost.  The failure occurs only with the 2.6.32 kernels.

Bug #572763 looks similar, but I am seeing messages logged whereas that report indicated no system messages logged.
Comment 1 Josh Bressers 2010-03-25 12:26:40 UTC 
I see this behavior as well. This problem does not exist in 2.6.31

I'm using a Thinkpad T60. Here is my lsusb -v output for the bluetooth

FWIW, the problem is still the same in kernel-2.6.32.10-90.fc12.i686 as well as in the 2.6.33 kernels in FC-13.  Looks like I'll be staying on FC-12 and the 2.6.31 kernel for quite some time.
Comment 3 Andy Lawrence 2010-04-24 12:01:11 UTC 
I have exactly the same as the OP, kernel 2.6.33.2-57.fc13.x86_64.

Bus 006 Device 002: ID 0a5c:2101 Broadcom Corp. A-Link BlueUsbA2 Bluetooth

Comment 4 Kevin Russell 2010-04-29 01:38:07 UTC 
I have the same problem with a Toshiba Satellite P100 and a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 under kernel-2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686.PAE.  The mouse periodically "disappears", perhaps an autosuspend action.

I have temporarily fixed the problem using the steps found in Comment #13 of Bug 570291 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=570291#c13)
Comment 5 Robert Nichols 2010-04-29 17:54:25 UTC 
Yes, disabling autosuspend fixes the problem for me too.  I've closed this bug as a duplicate of Bug 570291.
