Controlling wpa_supplicant/hostapd from a text based interface is
problematic in that there is no way of knowing if an event corresponds
to a request. In certain cases if wpa_s/hostapd is sending out multiple
events and we make a request, a random event may come back after the
request, but before the actual result.
To fix this, at least for this specific case, we can continue to read
from the socket until the result is numeric.
Some wpa_cli utilities return some result which isn't possible to
get with wait_for_event unless you know what the result will be.
This adds wait_for_result which just returns the first event that
comes in.
wait_for_event was checking the event string presence in the rx_data
array which meant the event string had to match perfectly to any
received events. This poses problems with events that include additional
information which the caller may not be able to know or does not care
about. For example:
DPP-RX src=02:00:00:00:02:00 freq=2437 type=11
Waiting for this event previously would require the caller know src, freq,
and type. If the caller only wants to wait for DPP-RX, it can now do that.
Since a Device class can represent multiple modes (AP, AdHoc, station)
move StationDebug out of the init and only create this class when it
is used (presumably only when the device is in station mode).
The StationDebug class is now created in a property method consistent
with 'station_if'. If Device is not in station mode it is automatically
switched if the test tries any StationDebug methods.
If the Device mode is changed from 'station' the StationDebug class
instance is destroyed.
Passing the full argument list to StationDebug was removed
because any existing properties (for Device) were being
included and causing incorrect behavior.
This neglected to handle namespaces which should also be
passed to StationDebug. Unfortunately the arguments are not
named when Device() is initialized so they cannot easily be
sorted. Instead just define Device() arguments to match the
DBus abstraction and pass only the path and namespace to
StationDebug
Passing *args, **kwargs into StationDebug ended up initializing the
class with Station properties since devices can be initialized from
existing property dictionaries. Since the object path is all
StationDebug needs, pass args[0] instead.
Certain scenarios coupled with lost beacons could result in OrderedNetwork
being initialized many times until the dbus library reached its maximum
signal registrations. This could happen where there are two networks,
IWD finds one in a scan but continues to scan for the other and the beacons
are lost. The way get_ordered_networks was written it returns early if any
networks are found. Since get_ordered_network (not plural) uses
get_ordered_networks() in a loop this caused OrderedNetwork's to be created
rapidly until python raises an exception.
To fix this, pass an optional list of networks being looked for to
get_ordered_networks. Only if all the networks in the list are found will
it return early, otherwise it will continue to scan.
REKEY_GTK kicks off the GTK only handshake where REKEY_PTK does
both (via the 4-way). The way this utility was written was causing
hostapd some major issues since both REKEY_GTK and REKEY_PTK was
used.
Instead if address is set only do REKEY_PTK. This will also rekey
the GTK via the 4-way handshake.
If no address is set do REKEY_GTK which will only rekey the GTK.
This was a placeholder at one point but modules grew to depend on it
being a string. Fix these dependencies and set the root namespace
name to None so there is no more special case needed to handle both
a named namespace and the original 'root' namespace.
mac80211_hwsim has a funny quirk with multiple addresses in
radios. Some operations require address index zero, some index
one. And these addresses (possibly a result of how test-runner
initializes radios) sometimes get mixed up. For example scan
results may show a BSS address as 02:00:00:00:00:00, while the
next test run shows 42:00:00:00:00:00.
Ultimately, sending out frames requires the first nibble of the
address to be 0x4 so to handle both variants of addresses described
above hwsim.py was updated to always bitwise OR the first byte
with 0x40.
There are really no cases where a test wants to remove a single
rule. Most loop through and remove rules individually so this
is being added as a convenience.
Certain autotests coupled with slower test machines can result in lost
beacons and "Network not found" errors. In attempt to help with this
the test can just rescan (30 seconds max) until the network is found.
The destructor was trying to do more than the scope of a destructor
by trying to handle this single case of hostapd being restarted.
Instead we can simply pass a keyword argument 'reinit' to the
constructor to tell it to reinitialize everything. And as for killing
hostapd this can be done in ungraceful_restart itself rather than
trying to handle it in the destructor.
This addresses the TODO where HostapdCLI was creating separate
objects each time HostapdCLI was called. This was worked around
by manually setting the important members but instead the class
can be re-worked to act as somewhat of a singleton, per-config
at least.
If there is no HostapdCLI instance for a given config one is
created and initialized. Subsequent HostapdCLI calls (for the
same config) will be returned the same object rather than a
new one.
get_ordered_network() now scans automatically and has been updated
to use the StationDebug.Scan() API rather than doing a full
dbus scan (unless full_scan = True). The frequencies to be scanned
are picked automatically based on the current hostapd status
(hidden behind ctx.hostapd.get_frequency()).
There is a common block of code in nearly every test which is incorrect,
most likely a copy-paste from long ago. It goes something like:
wd.wait_for_object_condition(device, 'not obj.scanning')
device.scan()
wd.wait_for_object_condition(device, 'not obj.scanning')
network = device.get_ordered_network("ssid")
The problem here is that sometimes the scanning property does not get
updated fast enough before device.scan() returns, meaning get_ordered_network
comes up with nothing. Some tests pass scan_if_needed=True which 'fixes'
this but ends up re-scanning after the original scan finishes.
To put this to rest scan_if_needed is now defaulted to True, and no
explicit scan should be needed.
This will use the Roam() developer method to force a roam to
a certain BSS. This is particularly useful for any test requiring
roams that are not testing IWD's BSS selection logic. Rather than
creating hwsim rules, setting low RSSI values, and waiting for the
roam logic/scan to happen Roam() can be used to force the roam
logic immediately.
Several tests tests for connectivity with the expectation that it
will fail. This ends up taking 30+ seconds because testutil retries
3 times, each with a 10 second timeout. By passing expect_fail=True
this lowers the timeout to zero, and skips any retries.
Break up the SAE tests into two parts: testSAE and testSAE-AntiClogging
testSAE is simplified to only use two radios and a single phy managed
by hostapd. hostapd configurations are changed via the new 'set_value'
method added to hostapd utils. This allows forcing hostapd to use a
particular sae group set, or force hostapd to use SAE H2E/Hunting and
Pecking Loop for key derivation. A separate test for IKE Group 20 is no
longer required and is folded into connection_test.py
testSAE-AntiClogging is added with an environment for 5 radios instead
of 7, again with hostapd running on a single phy. 'sae_pwe' is used to
force hostapd to use SAE H2E or Hunting and Pecking for key derivation.
Both Anti-Clogging protocol variants are thus tested.
main.conf is added to both directories to force scan randomization off.
This seems to be required for hostapd to work properly on hwsim.
This is similar to wait_for_object_condition, but will not allow
any intermediate state changes between the initial and expected
conditions. This is useful for roaming tests when the expected
state change is 'connected' --> 'roaming' with no changes in
between.
Sometimes scan results can come in with a MAC address which
should be in the first index of addrs[] (42:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx).
This causes a failure to lookup the radio path.
There was also a failure path added if the radio cannot be
found rather than rely on DBus to fail with a None path.
The arguments to SendFrame were also changed to use the
ByteArray DBus type rather than python's internal bytearray.
This shouldn't have any effect, but its more consistent with
how DBus arguments should be used.
After recent changes fixing wait_for_object_condition it was accidentally
made to only work with classes, not other types of objects. Instead
create a minimal class to hold _wait_timed_out so it doesnt rely on
'obj' holding the boolean.
The testAPRoam autotest was silently failing on my machine until I
realized that my distribution hostapd (Arch Linux) is not built with
CONFIG_WNM_AP=y. Indeed, it is also disabled by default in upstream
hostapd. This resulted in the send_bss_transition() function of
hostapd.py silently failing. With this change, throw an exception in
case the BSS_TM_REQ command does not succeed to hopefully save others
the time of debugging this problem.
There were some major problems related to logging and process
output. Tests which required output from start_process would
break if used with '--log/--verbose'. This is because we relied
on 'communicate' to retrieve the process output, but Popen does
not store process output when stdout/stderr are anything other
than PIPE.
Intead, in the case of logging or outfiles, we can simply read
from the file we just wrote to.
For an explicit --verbose application we must handle things
slightly different. A keyword argument was added to Process,
'need_out' which will ensure the process output is kept
regardless of --log or --verbose.
Now a user should be able to use --log/--verbose without any
tests failing.
After the re-write this was broken and not noticed until
recently. The issue appeared to be that the GLib timeout
callback retained no context of local variables. Previously
_wait_timed_out was set as a class variable, but this was
removed so multiple IWD instances could work. Without
_wait_timed_out being a class variable the GLib timeout
setting it had no effect on the wait loop.
To fix this we can set _wait_timed_out on the object being
passed in. This is preserved in the GLib timeout callback
and setting it gets honored in the wait loop.
Certain classes were still using the default namespace. This
didn't matter yet since testAP was the only test using namespaces,
and the AP interface was the only one being used.
For an IWD station on a separate namespace all objects need to
be accessable, so the namespace is passed along to those as needed.
When network namespaces are introduced there may be multiple
IWD class instances. This makes IWD.get_instance ambiguous
when namespaces are involved. iwd.py has been refactored to
not use IWD.get_instance, but testutil still needs it since
its purely based off interface names. Rather than remove it
and modify every test to pass the IWD object we can just
maintain the existing behavior for only the root namespace.
The agent path was generated based on the current time which
sometimes yielded duplicate paths if agents were created quickly
after one another. Instead a simple iterator removes any chance
of a duplicate path.
If the caller specifies the number of devices only return that many.
Some sub-tests may only need a subset of the total number of devices
for the test. If the number of devices expected is less than the total
being returned, python would throw an exception.
If a test does not need any hostapd instances but still loads
hostapd.py for some reason we want to gracefully throw an
exception rather than fail in some other manor.
Add the new wpas.Wpas class roughly based on hostapd.HostapdCLI but only
adding methods for the P2P-related stuff.
Adding "wpa_supplicant" to -v will enable output from the wpa_supplicant
process to be printed and "wpa_supplicant-dbg" will make it more verbose
("wpa_supplicant" is not needed because it seems to be automatically
enabled because of the glob matching in ctx.is_verbose)
The host systems configuration directories for IWD/EAD were
being mounted in the virtual machine. This required that the
host create these directories before hand. Instead we can
just set up the system and IWD/EAD to use directories in /tmp
that we create when we start the VM. This avoids the need for
any host configuration.
This module is essentially a heavily stripped down version of iwd.py
to work with EAD. Class names were changed to match EAD but basically
the EAD, Adapter, and AdapterList classes map 1:1 to IWD, Device, and
DeviceList.
This is somewhat of a hack, but the IWDDBusAbstract is a very
convenient abstraction to DBus objects. The only piece that restricts
it to IWD is the hardcoded IWD_SERVICE. Instead we can pass in a
keyword argument which defaults to IWD_SERVICE. That way other modules
(like EAD) can utilize this abstraction with their own service simply
by changing that service argument.
The AdHoc functionality in iwd.py was not consistent at all with
how all the other classes worked (my bad). Instead we can create
a very simple AdHocDevice class which inherits all the DBus magic
in the IWDDBusAbstract class.
This got added in the re-write but a __del__ method was also
added to the Rule class as well. This caused problems if hwsim
cleaned up since it removed the rules, which caused each rule
to call __del__. Since the rule had already been removed there
was no longer a DBus interface which raised an exception.
Before the re-write there was interesting escapes being used for
set_neighbor. Curiously now hostapd fails to set the neighbor due
to these escapes so they have been removed.
Slower systems may not be able to make some timeouts that tests
mandated. All timeouts were increased significantly to allow tests
to pass on slow systems.
