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.
This removes all the duplicated code where the interfaces are iterated
and the radio/hostapd instances are created. Instead the two new APIs
are used to get each instance, e.g.:
hapd = HostapdCLI(config='ssid.conf')
radio = hwsim.get_radio('radX')
The vendor specific IE was being parsed only to check if the AP supported
WPA, which used a Microsoft OUI. Hotspot/OSEN uses neither WPA or RSN
(although its nearly identical to RSN) so the we also need to check for
this Wifi-Alliance OUI and set bss->osen (new) if found.
The OSEN AKM uses the vendor specific IE, so when finding the RSNE
element we need to handle it specially to ensure that its both
a vendor specific element and it matches the WFA OUI since other
vendor specific elements may be included.
The OSEN AKM is nearly identical to the RSN IE, but differs slightly.
For one, OSEN is encapsulated into the vendor specific IE, and includes
the WFA OUI before the 'normal' RSN elements. OSEN also does not include
a WPA version, since its not technically WPA/WPA2.
Some of the RSN parsing was made common so both RSN/OSEN parsing could
use it.
The handshake object had 4 setters for authenticator/supplicant IE.
Since the IE ultimately gets put into the same buffer, there really
only needs to be a single setter for authenticator/supplicant. The
handshake object can deal with parsing to decide what kind of IE it
is (WPA or RSN).
