hci_connect_le() swaps the caller's identity address for the peer's
cached RPA when one is known, and stamps the matching
ADDR_LE_DEV_RANDOM on the local dst_type. On the conn-reuse path only
the address is copied into the connection:
if (conn) {
bacpy(&conn->dst, dst);
so conn->dst ends up holding an RPA while conn->dst_type still names the
identity it was resolved from, and hci_le_create_conn_sync() puts that
pair on air unchanged. An RPA declared as a public address is not
something any peer can answer.
Measured on a CYW43438 against a peer advertising an RPA the host holds
the IRK for, connecting to the identity address over a raw L2CAP socket.
The first attempt creates the connection, the second takes the reuse
path:
LE Create Connection 3C:78:95:78:37:C3 type public
LE Create Connection 5B:75:A2:26:D6:18 type public
LE Connection Complete: Unknown Connection Identifier (0x02)
The second address is the peer's RPA. btmon annotates it with an OUI
lookup rather than "(Resolvable)" precisely because the command declares
it public; the same bit pattern annotates as resolvable once the type is
right.
The mistyped pair is also why nothing downstream repairs it.
hci_bdaddr_is_rpa() tests the type before the address, so an RPA carrying
a public type is not recognised as one, and hci_find_irk_by_addr() then
searches for an identity address that does not match it either.
Copy the type along with the address.
The assignment used to be unconditional just below this block and covered
both paths; it moved into hci_conn_add_unset(), which the reuse path does
not go through.
