Pull request overview

This pull request adds comprehensive unit tests for the Bluetooth 5.4 Frame Space Update (FSU) feature, integrating the feature implementation from PR zephyrproject-rtos#99473. The tests aim to achieve 100% code coverage across PDU handling, LLCP procedures, timing management, and per-PHY storage with 11 test cases totaling 846 lines of code.

Changes:

  • Implements 11 test cases covering local/remote initiation for Central and Peripheral roles, error handling, CIS spacing, multi-PHY support, and per-PHY storage validation
  • Adds test infrastructure including FSU PDU helper functions for encoding/decoding/verification
  • Integrates the FSU feature implementation from PR zephyrproject-rtos#99473 with feature bit enablement using bit 63 as a placeholder (actual bit 65 requires extended feature support beyond 64 bits)

Debug print statement should be removed before merging. This printk call will output to console on every FSU response encoding, which is not appropriate for production code. Consider removing it entirely or replacing with a proper logging macro like LOG_DBG if debugging output is needed.

Change detection logic is inverted. This checks if the value EQUALS the new value and sets fsu_changed to 1, which means it reports a change when values DON'T change. The condition should use != instead of == to properly detect when the value changes. This same bug appears in multiple places (lines 2872, 2881, 2889, 2901, 2909) throughout this function.

Array size mismatch. The code uses 3 PHYs (1M at index 0, 2M at index 1, CODED at index 2) but the array is declared with size 4. This should be perphy[3] to match actual usage throughout the codebase, as seen in ull_conn.c lines 2383-2389, 2427-2434, and 2965-2971, as well as ull_llcp_pdu.c lines 788-798.

Incorrect order of operations for masking. The RFU bit mask (0x1F) is being applied to the little-endian value before byte order conversion. The mask should be applied after sys_le16_to_cpu, not before. It should be: sys_le16_to_cpu(p->spacing_type) & 0x1F. The same issue exists at line 796 and line 821.

PHY index calculation could be more clear and maintainable. The comment "a bit tricky but should work" suggests uncertainty. Consider using a helper function or lookup table for PHY to index mapping, or at least adding a more detailed comment explaining the PHY value encodings (PHY_1M=1, PHY_2M=2, PHY_CODED=4) and their corresponding array indices (0, 1, 2). This same pattern appears at line 327.

FSU response rejects CODED PHY unconditionally. The code checks if phys field has bit 0x04 (PHY_CODED) set and returns a reject response. However, test cases (e.g., test_frame_space_update_cis_spacing at line 534, test_frame_space_update_multi_phy at line 627) expect CODED PHY to be supported. This creates a discrepancy between the implementation and tests. Either the rejection logic should be removed/conditional, or the tests should be updated to not use CODED PHY, or there should be documentation explaining when CODED PHY is supported.

Fixed in commit 7fd81bd. The issue was inverted change detection logic in ull_fsu_update_eff(). The function was using == to check for changes when it should use !=. This meant notifications were only generated when values didn't change, rather than when they did change. Changed all 5 instances from == to != on lines 2872, 2881, 2889, 2901, and 2909 of ull_conn.c.

Fixed in commit 9a63954. The issue was missing PHY initialization in tests. When conn.lll.phy_tx and conn.lll.phy_rx were 0, the condition conn->lll.fsu.local.phys & phy_rx in ull_fsu_update_eff() evaluated to false, preventing change detection and notification generation. Added PHY initialization to all test cases.

- Add FSU helper functions to test framework (encode/decode/verify)
- Create comprehensive test suite with ASCII art MSC diagrams
- Tests cover: local/remote initiation, both roles, unknown response

- Added 10+ test cases for complete FSU feature coverage

Enable FSU feature bit for testing and fix test setup

- Use bit 63 as placeholder for FSU feature until extended feature support
- Enable FSU feature in test setup for proper procedure execution
- Document the feature bit limitation in ll_feat.h

Add comprehensive implementation summary and code review findings

- Document all completed tasks and test coverage
- List code review findings from automated review
- Provide statistics on code additions and coverage

Fix FSU implementation bugs identified in code review

- Fix inverted change detection logic in ull_fsu_update_eff()
  (use != instead of == to detect actual changes)
- Remove debug printk statement from llcp_pdu_encode_fsu_rsp()
- Fix masking order in llcp_pdu_decode_fsu_req/rsp()
  (apply mask after byte order conversion)
- Fix array size for perphy[] from 4 to 3 (matches 3 PHYs: 1M, 2M, CODED)
- Add pu_phy_to_index() helper for clearer PHY-to-index mapping
- Remove unconditional CODED PHY rejection in remote FSU response
- Update comment from "nitpic" to proper description

These fixes address all code review comments and resolve test failure
where FSU notification was not being generated due to inverted logic.

The issue was that conn.lll.phy_tx and conn.lll.phy_rx were not initialized
in most tests, causing them to be 0. When ull_fsu_update_eff() checks
`conn->lll.fsu.local.phys & phy_rx`, the result was 0 (false), so the
function never detected changes and never generated notifications.

Added PHY initialization (PHY_1M for most tests) in all test cases to
ensure the change detection logic works correctly. Tests that already
had PHY initialization for specific PHY types (2M, CODED) were left
unchanged.

This fixes the "Ntf Q empty" assertion failures where notifications
were expected but not generated.
