This module takes care of radio measurements which an AP can request.
There are many types of requests, and for now only beacon requests
are supported.
IWD will filter certain types of beacon requests that are NOT
supported:
- AP channel reports. Only single channel requests will be supported
- Autonomous measurements. Only direct requests will be supported.
IWD will not accept requets to trigger reports under certain
conditions (SNR/RSSI thresholds, etc.)
- Timed measurements. Only immediate measurements will be performed.
The accuracy for timed measurements cannot be reliably guaranteed
due to kernel scheduling/queues.
- Full reporting detail. The AP can request the STA return the full
set of IEs in a beacon. IWD does not currently save all IEs, plus
there is quite a bit of complexity involved as certain IEs get
truncated, and there are other length limitations.
There are other limitations not specific to beacon requests:
- IWD will support single measurement requests per report. Multiple
measurement request IEs can be included, but the reports will be
sent out separately.
- IWD will limit the number of requests it responds to in a given
amount of time. As it stands now this is hard coded to 2 requests
per second maximum. This will prevent DoS attacks.
- IWD will not accept any measurement requests from APs it is not
connected to, and will not accept any requests until connected.
For Radio Resource Management (RRM) we will need access to the currently
connected BSS as well as the last scan results in order to do certain
kinds of requested measurements.
netdev_connect can achieve the same effect as netdev_connect_wsc but is
more flexible as it allows us to supply additional association IEs. We
will need this capability to make P2P connections. This way we're also
moving the WSC-specific bits to wsc.c from the crowded netdev.c.
On EAP events, call the handshake_event handler with the new event type
HANDSHAKE_EVENT_EAP_NOTIFY isntead of the eapol_event callback.
This allows the handler to be set before calling
netdev_connect/netdev_connect_wsc. It's also in theory more type-safe
because we don't need the cast in netdev_connect_wsc anymore.
Convert the handshake event callback type to use variable argument
list to allow for more flexibility in event-specific arguments
passed to the callbacks.
Note the uint16_t reason code is promoted to an int when using variable
arguments so va_arg(args, int) has to be used.
no_cck_rates is set in the scan parameters generally to make sure
that the Probe Request frames are not sent at any of the 802.11b
rates during active scans. With this patch we also omit those rates
from the Supported Rates IEs, which is required by the p2p spec and
also matches our flag's name.
The current logic did not make sure that each entry provided was
actually parsed. Also add a sanity check to make sure that no duplicate
parsing occurs.
When updating the network ranking there was a potential out of bounds
array access. The condition was if known_network_offset returned a
negative value, indicating the known network was not found. Since
network->info is only set for known networks this should not ever
happen as network->info is checked prior.
Though this is likely impossible, knownnetworks is complex enough that
its better to just be paranoid and put an L_WARN_ON to check the
return.
