[PATCH v4] Bluetooth: hci_event: Add support for handling LE BIG Sync Lost event

From: Yang Li via B4 Relay
Date: Tue Jul 01 2025 - 03:56:41 EST


From: Yang Li <yang.li@xxxxxxxxxxx>

When the BIS source stops, the controller sends an LE BIG Sync Lost
event (subevent 0x1E). Currently, this event is not handled, causing
the BIS stream to remain active in BlueZ and preventing recovery.

Changes in v4:
- Rebase the code and improve it
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250630-handle_big_sync_lost_event-v3-1-a4cf5bf6ec82@xxxxxxxxxxx

Changes in v3:
- Delete the PA sync connection separately.
- Add state and role check when lookup BIS connections
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250625-handle_big_sync_lost_event-v2-1-81f163057a21@xxxxxxxxxxx

Changes in v2:
- Matching the BIG handle is required when looking up a BIG connection.
- Use ev->reason to determine the cause of disconnection.
- Call hci_conn_del after hci_disconnect_cfm to remove the connection entry
- Delete the big connection
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250624-handle_big_sync_lost_event-v1-1-c32ce37dd6a5@xxxxxxxxxxx
