This is not used by any of the scan notify callback implementations and
for P2P we're going to need to scan on an interface without an ifindex
so without this the other changes should be mostly contained in scan.
sc->state would get set when the TRIGGERED event arrived or when the
triggered callback for our own SCAN_TRIGGER command is received.
However it would not get reset to NOT_RUNNING when the NEW_SCAN_RESULTS
event is received, instead we'd first request the results with GET_SCAN
and only reset sc->state when that returns. If during that command a
new scan gets triggered, the GET_SCAN callback would still reset
sc->state and clobber the value set by the new scan.
To fix that repurpose sc->state to only track that period from the
TRIGGERED signal to the NEW_SCAN_RESULTS signal. sc->triggered can be
used to check if we're still waiting for the GET_SCAN command and
sc->start_cmd_id to check if we're waiting for the scan to get
triggered, so one of these three variables will now always indicate if
a scan is in progress.
On successful send, scan_send_start(..) used to set msg to NULL,
therefore the further management of the command by the caller was
impossible. This patch removes wrapper around l_genl_family_send()
and lets the callers to take responsibility for the command.
Some users may need their own control over 2.4/5GHz preference. This
adds a new user option, 'rank_5g_factor', which allows users to increase
or decrease their 5G preference.
This adds support for parsing the VHT IE, which allows a BSS supporting
VHT (80211ac) to be ranked higher than a BSS supporting only HT/basic
rates. Now, with basic/HT/VHT parsing we can calculate the theoretical
maximum data rate for all three and rank the BSS based on that.
This adds HT IE parsing and data rate calculation for HT (80211n)
rates. Now, a BSS supporting HT rates will be ranked higher than
a basic rate BSS, assuming the RSSI is at an acceptable level.
The spec dictates RSSI thresholds for different modulation schemes, which
correlate to different data rates. Until now were were ranking a BSS with
only looking at its advertised data rate, which may not even be possible
if the RSSI does not meet the threshold.
Now, RSSI is taken into consideration and the data rate returned from
parsing (Ext) Supported Rates IE(s) will reflect that.
This should not change the behaviour except for fixing a rare crash
due to scan_cancel not working correctly when cancelling the first scan
request in the queue while a periodic scan was running, and potentially
other corner cases. To be able to better distinguish between a periodic
scan in progress and a scan request in progress add a sc->current_sr
field that points either at a scan request or is NULL when a periodic
scan is in ongoing. Move the triggered flag from scan_request and
scan_preiodic directly to scan_context so it's there together with
start_cmd_id. Hopefully make scan_cancel simpler/clearer.
Note sc->state and sc->triggered have similar semantics so one of them
may be easily removed. Also the wiphy_id parameter to the scan callback
is rather useless, note I temporarily pass 0 as the value on error but
perhaps it should be dropped.
The main difference with this is that scan_context removal will also
trigger the .destroy calls. Normally there won't be any requests left
during scan_context but if there were any we should call destroy on
them.
Fix incorrect usage of the caller’s scan triggered callback.
In case of a failure, destroy scan request and notify caller
about the issue by returning zero scan id instead of calling
callers’ scan triggered callback with an error code.
Until now network.c managed the list of network_info structs including
for known networks and networks that are seen in at least one device's
scan results, with the is_known flag to distinguish known networks.
Each time the list was processed though the code was either interested
in one subset of networks or the other. Split the list into a Known
Networks list and the list of other networks seen in scans. Move all
code related to Known Networks to knownnetworks.c, this simplifies
network.h. It also gets rid of network_info_get_known which actually
returned the list of all network_infos (not just for known networks),
which logically should have been private to network.c. Update device.c
and scan.c to use functions specific to Known Networks instead of
filtering the lists by the is_known flag.
This will also allow knownnetworks.c to export DBus objects and/or
properties for the Known Networks information because it now knows when
Known Networks are added, removed or modified by IWD.
triggered flag was being reset to false in all cases. However, due to
how scan_finished logic works, it should have remained true if no more
commands were left to be sent (e.g. the scan was finished).
In addition, the periodic scan can now alternate between the
active or passive modes. The active mode is enabled by existence of
the known hidden networks and observation of them in the
previous scan result.
To support an auto-connect for the hidden networks and having
a limited number of SSIDs that can be appended into a probe
request, introduced a concept of a command batch. Now, scan request
may consist of a series of commands. The commands in the batch
are triggered sequentially. Once we are notified about the
results from a previous command, a consequent command in the
batch is triggered. The collective results are reported once
the batch is complete. On a command failure, the batch
processing is canceled and scan request is removed
The state of scan is split between the two variables sc->state
and sc->start_cmd_id. Not checking start_cmd_id used to cause
sending a scan request while periodic scan was just triggered
resulting in EBUSY.
Pass an additional parameter to the scan results notify functions to
tell them whether the scan was successful. If it wasn't don't bother
passing an empty bss_list queue, pass NULL as bss_list. This way the
callbacks can tell whether the scan indicates there are no BSSes in
range or simply was aborted and the old scan results should be kept.
Also handle the case of a periodic scan when handling a
NL80211_CMD_SCAN_ABORTED. The goal is to make sure the supplied callback
is always called if .trigger was called before, but this should also fix
some other corner cases.
* I add a sp.triggered field for periodic scans since sc->state doesn't
tell us whether the scan in progress was triggered by ourselved o
someone else (in that case .trigger has not been called)
* Since the NL80211_CMD_SCAN_ABORTED becomes similar to get_scan_done I
move the common code to scan_finished
* I believe this fixes a situation where we weren't updating sc->state
if we'd not triggered the scan, because both get_scan_done and the
NL80211_CMD_SCAN_ABORTED would return directly.
If the current request is not freed when we receive the
NL80211_CMD_SCAN_ABORTED event, device.c will keep thinking that
we're still scanning and the scan.c logic also gets confused and may
resend the current request at some point and call sr->trigger again
causing a segfault in device.c.
I pass an empty bss_list to the callback, another possibility would be
to pass NULL to let the callback know not to replace old results yet.
The callbacks would need to handle a NULL first.
Add sr NULL check before accessing sr->id. Call scan_request_free on
request structure and call the destroy callback. Cancel the netlink
TRIGGER_SCAN command if still running and try starting the next scan
in the queue. It'll probably still fail with EBUSY but it'll be
reattempted later.
Always call start_next_scan_request when a scan request has finished,
with a success or a failure, including a periodic scan attempt. Inside
that function check if there's any work to be done, either for one-off
scan requests or periodic scan, instead of having this check only inside
get_scan_done. Call start_next_scan_request in scan_periodic_start and
scan_periodic_timeout.
Also call the trigger callback with an error code when sending the
netlink command fails after the scan request has been queued because
another scan was in progress when the scan was requested.

The reasoning is that the logic inside scan_common is reversed. Instead
of freeing the scan request on error, we always do it. This causes the
trigger_scan callback to receive invalid userdata.
Save the ids of the netlink trigger scan commands that we send and
cancel them in scan_ifindex_remove to fix a race leading to a
segfault. The segfault would happen every time if scan_ifindex_remove
was called in the same main loop iteration in which we sent the
command, on shutdown:

Add a flush flag to scan_parameters to tell the kernel to flush the
cache of scan results before the new scan. Use this flag in the
active scan during roaming.
Add a version of scan_active that accepts a struct with the scan
parameters so we can more easily add new parameters. Since the genl
message is now built within scan_active_start the extra_ie memory
can be freed by the caller at any time.
In many cases the pairwise and group cipher information is not the only
information needed from the BSS RSN/WPA elements in order to make a
decision. For example, th MFPC/MFPR bits might be needed, or
pre-authentication capability bits, group management ciphers, etc.
This patch refactors bss_get_supported_ciphers into the more general
scan_bss_get_rsn_info function
This function takes an Operating Channel and a Country String to convert
it into a band. Using scan_oper_class_to_band and scan_channel_to_freq,
an Operating Channel, a Country String and a Channel Number together can
be converted into an actual frequency. EU and US country codes based on
wpa_supplicant's tables.
Sometimes the periodic scan is started and stopped before the timeout
was created. If periodic_scan_stop was called before, the timeout
object was not reset to NULL, which can lead to a crash.
