The framework enables the service specific implementations
to provide its own variations for the DNS installation tasks.
The selection of the address resolution service can be done
through dns_resolve_method setting.
The module is responsible for the configuration of the address
resolution services. It will consist of the multiple service
specific plugins such as: systemd-resolved plugin, dnsmasq
plugin, etc.
If supported by the driver, we can create an interface directly with a
random MAC if configured to do so. If the driver does not have this
capability, then tell netdev to perform the necessary logic as part of
the interface initialization procedure.

Regulatory domain management is now completely handled by the kernel, so
iwd doesn't really need to query or be aware of changes to this. This
may change in the future, but for now this code has not been used and
can be safely gotten rid of.
After a scan, station can now pause future scans and start ANQP requests
to discover Hotspot's NAI realm. This lets us check if the AP's NAI realm
matches any stored hotspot configuration files. If so we can connect to
this network. If the network provides an HESSID and a matching one is
found in a hotspot provisioning file we can skip ANQP and directly connect
as this is expected to be our 'home network'
The actual ANQP request was handled by netdev, but in the case of P2P
their may be no netdev. For this reason all functionality needed for
an ANQP request has been moved into anqp.c. There are still a few netdev
references, which need to be removed when P2P is introduced. Leaving them
in for now as its still going to work as a first pass implementation
The initial ANQP parser design did not work well with how the hotspot
implementation was turning out. For one, much care was taken into parsing
the EAP credentials which are not really required. The assumption is
that any hotspot network will already be provisioned, so checking that
the EAP parameters match is a bit overkill. Instead only the NAI Realms
will be checked. This greatly simplifies the NAI realm parser, as now it
can just return a string list of realms instead of the full EAP
credential info.
This module will be in charge of managing Hotspot provisioning files
stored under the .hotspot/ directory. This includes a dir watch to
handle file changes/removal as well as an API to match a network
object to a hotspot provisioning file.
The way IWD does ANQP depends on a recent kernel patch so its best if
we have ANQP disabled by default. In addition it has been found some
drivers do public action frames very badly, resulting in freezes or
crashes. If users are feeling brave, or are confident they're system
can handle ANQP properly they can enable this.
Enabling this option is required for Hotspot 2.0 support
Hotspot networks are supposed to include an HESSID in the scan
results. This is more or less an identifier for the overall
network. In addition, the NAI Realms can be obtained via ANQP
and should be the same for each BSS. Since both HESSID and NAI
realms should be the same for a given network in range we can
store these values in the network object itself. This also allows
us to easily find hotspot configuration files by looking at
the HESSID/NAI Realms directly in the network object as opposed
to individual scan_bss's.
In order to do ANQP efficiently IWD needs the ability to suspend scanning
temporarily. This is because both scanning and ANQP go offchannel and must
remain off channel for some amount of time. This cannot be done
simultaneously and if e.g. ANQP is requested after a scan is already
pending, the kernel will wait till that scan finishes before sending out
the frame.
Use memset instead. explicit_bzero should only be used when we're
wiping a secret just prior to the encopassing storage being freed. The
compiler would usually optimize away the memset, leaving the secrets
around.
In rtnlutil we're simply zeroing the structure prior to filling it, so
the use of explicit_bzero is not needed and brings confusion to the
reader since no secrets are being wiped.
netconfig is interested in three station states: connected,
disconnected and connected after it has roamed. On connected
it tries to obtain a new DHCP lease, on disconnected it stops
the DHCP client and discards all addresses from interface, on
connected after roaming it will try to request a previously
issued address.
iwd keeps track of the addresses assigned to the managed
interfaces. The list of assigned IPv4/IPv6 addresses is stored
in ifaddr_list inside of netconfig. The tracking of the IP
addresses will help to remove them from an interface once they
are no longer valid.
netconfig module will be responsible for the orchestration
of the network configuration with the IP addresses.
iwd creates one netconfig structure per interface index.
The purpose of this struct is to hold all of the interface
related addressing states such as: assigned dhcp
clients, known addresses, routes, etc.
A not-yet-merged kernel patch will enable the FRAME_WAIT_CANCEL
event to be emitted when a CMD_FRAME duration expires. This can
shortcut the ridiculously long timeout that is required making
GAS requests with no response drastically quicker to handle.
This adds a new API netdev_anqp_request which will send out a GAS
request, parses the GAS portion of the response and forwards the
ANQP response to the callers callback.
This IE tells us what Advertisement Protocols the AP supports. This
is only here to look for ANQP support, so all this does is iterate
through all other Advertisement Protocol tuples looking for ANQP.
If found, anqp_capable is set in the scan_bss
Currently these are geared to support the WiFi Alliance Hotspot 2.0
ANQP elements, which all fall under the vendor specific ANQP element.
anqp_iter_next behaves similar to the genl parsers, where the id, length
and data will be returned as out parameters. Currently there is only
vendor support for Hotspot 2.0. anqp_iter_is_hs20 can be used to setup
the subtype, length, and data pointer to parse any Hotspot 2.0 ANQP
elements. From here the subtype can be checked and a vendor specific
parser for that subtype can be used to parse the data, e.g.
hs20_parse_osu_provider_nai.
