[Cbe-oss-dev] [PATCH] bluetooth: reset unexpected connections

[Ranulf Doswell]

From: Ranulf Doswell <ralf at ranulf.net>

Send a reset command to any device that sends us data when there is no
active
connection to that device. This hopefully discourages the device from
sending
any more data which causes the syslog to fill up rapidly otherwise.

Signed-off-by: Ranulf Doswell <ralf at ranulf.net>

An example device which causes this problem is the Sony Playstation six-axis
controller which continues sending data even after the host is rebooted as
the linux kernel stack returns before the controller's stack times out.

This patch is against 2.6.22-rc5
