ssid is declared as a 32 byte field in handshake_state, hence using it
as a string which is assumed to be nul-terminated will fail for SSIDs
that are 32 bytes long.

The function wiphy_band_is_disabled() return was a bit misleading
because if the band was not supported it would return true which
could be misunderstood as the band is supported, but disabled.
There was only one call site and because of this behavior
wiphy_band_is_disabled needed to be paired with checking if the
band was supported.
To be more descriptive to the caller, wiphy_band_is_disabled() now
returns an int and if the band isn't supported -ENOTSUP will be
returned, otherwise 1 is returned if the band is disabled and 0
otherwise.
This is more or less copied from scan_get_allowed_freqs but is
going to be needed by station (basically just saves the need for
station to do the same clone/constrain sequence itself).
One slight alteration is now a band mask can be passed in which
provides more flexibility for additional filtering.
Certain drivers do not handle power save very well resulting in
missed frames, firmware crashes, or other bad behavior. Its easy
enough to disable power save via iw, iwconfig, etc but since IWD
removes and creates the interface on startup it blows away any
previous power save setting. The setting must be done *after* IWD
creates the interface which can be done, but needs to be via some
external daemon monitoring IWD's state. For minimal systems,
e.g. without NetworkManager, it becomes difficult and annoying to
persistently disable power save.
For this reason a new driver flag POWER_SAVE_DISABLE is being
added. This can then be referenced when creating the interfaces
and if set, disable power save.
In some situations its convenient for the same work item to be
inserted (rescheduled) while its in progress. FT for example does
this now if a roam fails. The same ft_work item gets re-inserted
which, currently, is not safe to do since the item is modified
and removed once completed.
Fix this by introducing wiphy_radio_work_reschedule which is an
explicit API for re-inserting work items from within the do_work
callback.
The wiphy work logic was changed around slightly to remove the item
at the head of the queue prior to starting and note the ID going
into do_work. If do_work signaled done and ID changed we know it
was re-inserted and can skip the destroy logic and move onto the
next item. If the item is not done continue as normal but set the
priority to INT_MIN, as usual, to prevent other items from getting
to the head of the queue.
This adds some additional parsing to obtain the AMPDU parameter
byte as well as wiphy_get_ht_capabilities() which returns the
complete IE (combining the 3 separate kernel attributes).
The disabled_freqs list is being removed and replaced with a new
list in the band object. This completely removes the need for
the pending_freqs list as well since any regdom related dumps
can just overwrite the existing frequency list.
This adds two new APIs:
wiphy_get_frequency_info(): Used to get information about a given
frequency such as disabled/no-IR. This can also be used to check
if the frequency is supported (NULL return is unsupported).
wiphy_band_is_disabled(): Checks if a band is disabled. Note that
an unsupported band will also return true. Checking support should
be done with wiphy_get_supported_bands()
As additional frequency info is needed it doesn't make sense to
store a full list of frequencies for every attribute (i.e.
supported, disabled, no-IR, etc).
This changes nl80211_parse_supported_frequencies to take a list
of frequency attributes where each index corresponds to a channel,
and each value can be filled with flag bits to signal any
limitations on that frequency.
wiphy.c then had to be updated to use this rather than the existing
scan_freq_set lists. This, as-is, will break anything using
wiphy_get_disabled_freqs().
wiphy_get_supported_rates expected an enum defined in the nl80211
header but the argument type was an unsigned int, not exactly
intuitive to anyone using the API. Since the nl80211 enum value
was only used in a switch statement it could just as well be IWD's
internal enum band_freq.
This also allows modules which do not reference nl80211.h to use
wiphy_get_supported_rates().
Parse the AP probe response offload attribute during the dump. If
set this indicates the driver expects the probe response attribute
to be included with START_AP.
FT is special in that it really should not be interrupted. Since
FRAME/OFFCHANNEL have the highest priority we run the risk of
DPP or some other offchannel operation interfering with FT.
A helper to check whether the country code corresponds to a
real country, or some special code indicating the country isn't
yet set. For now, the special codes are OO (world roaming) and
XX (unknown entity).
Events to indicate when a regulatory domain wiphy dump has
started and ended. This is important because certain actions
such as scanning need to be delayed until the dump has finished.
If a frequency is disabled IWD should keep track and disallow any
operations on that channel such as scanning. A new list has been added
which contains only disabled frequencies.
Work priority was never explicitly defined anywhere, and a module
using wiphy_radio_work APIs needed to ensure it was not inserting
at a priority that would interfere with other work.
Now all the types of work have been defined with their own priority
and future priorities can easily be added before, after, or in
between existing priorities.
Move the reading of ControlPortOverNL80211 into wiphy itself and
renamed wiphy_control_port_capable to wiphy_control_port_enabled.
This makes things easier for any modules interested in control
port support since they will only have to check this one API rather
than read the settings and check capability.
Some drivers might not actually support control port properly even if
advertised by mac80211. Introduce a new method to wiphy that will take
care of looking up any driver quirks that override the presence of
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CONTROL_PORT_OVER_NL80211
Transition Disable indications and information stored in the network
profile needs to be enforced. Since Transition Disable information is
now stored inside the network object, add a new method
'network_can_connect_bss' that will take this information into account.
wiphy_can_connect method is thus deprecated and removed.
Transition Disable can also result in certain AKMs and pairwise ciphers
being disabled, so wiphy_select_akm method's signature is changed and
takes the (possibly overriden) ie_rsn_info as input.
Returns a template RSNX element that can be further modified by callers
to set any additional capabilities if required. wiphy will fill in
those capabilities that are driver / firmware dependent.
The data rate estimation belongs in wiphy since it should take hardware
capabilities into account. Right now the data rate calculation simply
assumes the hardware is as capable as the AP. scan.c will be ported to
use this utility and the data rate estimation will be expanded to take
wiphy capabilities into account.
A prior commit refactored the AKM selection in wiphy.c. This
ended up breaking FILS tests due to the hard coding of a
false fils_hint in wiphy_select_akm. Since our FILS tests
only advertise FILS AKMs wiphy_can_connect would return false
for these networks.
Similar to wiphy_select_akm, add a fils hint parameter to
wiphy_can_connect and pass that down directly to wiphy_select_akm.
These APIs will handle fairness and order in any operations which
radios can only do sequentially (offchannel, scanning, connection etc.).
Both scan and frame-xchg are complex modules (especially scanning)
which is why the radio management APIs were implemented generic enough
where the changes to both modules will be minimal. Any module that
requires this kind of work can push a work item into the radio
management work queue (wiphy_radio_work_insert) and when the work
is ready to be started radio management will call back into the module.
Once the work is completed (and this may be some time later e.g. in
scan results or a frame watch) the module can signal back that the
work is finished (wiphy_radio_work_done). Wiphy will then pop the
queue and continue with the next work item.
A concept of priority was added in order to allow important offchannel
operations (e.g. ANQP) to take priority over other work items. The
priority is an integer, where lower values are of a higher priority.
The concept of priority cleanly solves a lot of the complexity that
was added in order to support ANQP queries (suspending scanning and
waiting for ANQP to finish before connecting).
Instead ANQP queries can be queued at a higher priority than scanning
which removes the need for suspending scans. In addition we can treat
connections as radio management work and insert them at a lower
priority than ANQP, but higher than scanning. This forces the
connection to wait for ANQP without having to track any state.
When a new wiphy is added query its regulatory domain and listen for
nl80211 regulatory notifications to be able to provide current
regulatory country code through the new wiphy_get_reg_domain_country().
This API is being added to support per-network MAC address
generation. The MAC is generated based on the network SSID
and the adapters permanent address using HMAC-SHA256. The
SHA digest is then constrained to make it MAC address
compliant.
Generating the MAC address like this will ensure that the
MAC remains the same each time a given SSID is connected to.
The kernel emits NEW_WIPHY events whenever a new wiphy is registered.
Unfortunately these events are emitted under the 'legacy' semantics and
have a hard size limit of 4096 bytes. Unfortunately, it is possible for
a NEW_WIPHY message to exceed this limit (ath10k cards seem to be
affected in particular), which results in the kernel never sending these
messages out. This can lead to NEW_INTERFACE events being emitted with
a wiphy_id that had no corresponding NEW_WIPHY event emitted. Such a
sequence can confuse iwd's hardware detection logic, particularly during
hot-plug or system boot.
Fix this by re-dumping the wiphy if such a condition is detected. This
has some interaction with blacklisted wiphys, so the wiphy objects are
now always tracked and marked as blacklisted. Before, the blacklisted
wiphys were simply not added to the iwd list of tracked wiphys.
