"unknown main tag item 0x0" comes from the HID layer, it has nothing to do with Bluetooth or connection stability. It's usually a stray NUL character at the end of the HID descriptor which the kernel safely ignores but still logs. In my own driver development (xpadneo), I just shorten the HID descriptor by one byte if it ends with NUL because the devices I work with are known to NUL-terminate their HID descriptors.
Maybe the kernel should do the same: If the last HID descriptor byte is a NUL-byte, it should simply shorten the HID descriptor by one byte, essentially cutting the offending byte off, and the message would be gone. Other than a log message, it has no consequences in the kernel, it comes from a completely different layer that's not related to Bluetooth at all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-signed-hwe-5.8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1385113 Title: hid-generic 0005:099A:0500.0001: unknown main item tag 0x0 Status in Linux: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux-signed-hwe-5.8 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Message with Mouse Bluetooth [ 32.960478] hid-generic 0005:099A:0500.0001: unknown main item tag 0x0 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.10 Package: linux-image-3.16.0-23-generic 3.16.0-23.31 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-23.31-generic 3.16.4 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-23-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: caravena 3344 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Fri Oct 24 05:22:54 2014 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=360bd2d2-4f44-4311-86d6-4781ac81ee87 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-09-25 (29 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-GNOME 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn" - Alpha amd64 (20140923) MachineType: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD. 530U3C/530U4C ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/@/boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-23-generic root=UUID=0fb75fae-baa3-428b-ace4-498e69ff7fb6 ro rootflags=subvol=@ quiet splash nomdmonddf nomdmonisw nomdmonddf nomdmonisw vt.handoff=7 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-3.16.0-23-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-3.16.0-23-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.138 SourcePackage: linux UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 04/15/2013 dmi.bios.vendor: Phoenix Technologies Ltd. dmi.bios.version: P14AAJ dmi.board.asset.tag: Base Board Asset Tag dmi.board.name: SAMSUNG_NP1234567890 dmi.board.vendor: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD. dmi.board.version: FAB1 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Tag dmi.chassis.type: 9 dmi.chassis.vendor: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD. dmi.chassis.version: 0.1 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnPhoenixTechnologiesLtd.:bvrP14AAJ:bd04/15/2013:svnSAMSUNGELECTRONICSCO.,LTD.:pn530U3C/530U4C:pvr0.1:rvnSAMSUNGELECTRONICSCO.,LTD.:rnSAMSUNG_NP1234567890:rvrFAB1:cvnSAMSUNGELECTRONICSCO.,LTD.:ct9:cvr0.1: dmi.product.name: 530U3C/530U4C dmi.product.version: 0.1 dmi.sys.vendor: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
