In the PCI/USB passthrough changes the wiphy ID was changed to be an
unsigned integer, where id zero corresponded to an error when in native
hardware mode. Along with this, the radio ID for hwsim was changed to a
pre-increment (only in test-runner), so the radio IDs would start at 1.
The repercussions were not fully investigated, but if they were it would
have been seen that hwsim creates radios IDs starting at zero. This left
test-runner and hwsim with unsynchronized radio IDs, and radio zero
never got deleted after each test causing each successive test to
discover old radio IDs.
ifaddr is not guaranteed to be initialized, I'm not sure why there was
no compiler warning. Also replace a | with a || for boolean conditions
and merge the wiphy check with that line.
When handling a scan finished event for a scan we haven't started check
that we were not halfway through a scan request that would have its
results flushed by the external scan.
-nodefconfig doesn't exist anymore and according to the docs it either
had the same meaning or was implied by -no-user-config so it wouldn't be
needed anyway. -balloon doesn't exist anymore and according to
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-02/msg06985.html
"-balloon none" was a nop, but I suspect -nodefaults may have already
had the effect of disabling creation of the virtio-balloon device.
FT-over-DS is a way to do a Fast BSS Transition using action frames for
the authenticate step. This allows a station to start a fast transition
to a target AP while still being connected to the original AP. This,
in theory, can result in less carrier downtime.
The existing ft_sm_new was removed, and two new constructors were added;
one for over-air, and another for over-ds. The internals of ft.c mostly
remain the same. A flag to distinguish between air/ds was added along
with a new parser to parse the action frames rather than authenticate
frames. The IE parsing is identical.
Netdev now just initializes the auth-proto differently depending on if
its doing over-air or over-ds. A new TX authenticate function was added
and used for over-ds. This will send out the IEs from ft.c with an
FT Request action frame.
The FT Response action frame is then recieved from the AP and fed into
the auth-proto state machine. After this point ft-over-ds behaves the
same as ft-over-air (associate to the target AP).
Some simple code was added in station.c to determine if over-air or
over-ds should be used. FT-over-DS can be beneficial in cases where the
AP is directing us to roam, or if the RSSI falls below a threshold.
It should not be used if we have lost communication to the AP all
(beacon lost) as it only works while we can still talk to the original
AP.
To support FT-over-DS this API needed some slight modifications:
- Instead of setting the DA to netdev->handshake->aa, it is just set to
the same address as the 'to' parameter. The kernel actually requires
and checks for these addresses to match. All occurences were passing
the handshake->aa anyways so this change should have no adverse
affects; and its actually required by ft-over-ds to pass in the
previous BSSID, so hard coding handshake->aa will not work.
- The frequency is is also passed in now, as ft-over-ds needs to use
the frequency of the currently connected AP (netdev->frequency get
set to the new target in netdev_fast_transition. Previous frequency
is also saved now).
- A new vector variant (netdev_send_action_framev) was added as well
to support sending out the FT Request action frame since the FT
TX authenticate function provides an iovec of the IEs. The existing
function was already having to prepend the action frame header to
the body, so its not any more or less copying to do the same thing
with an iovec instead.
Since FT already handles processing the FT IE's (and building for
associate) it didn't make sense to have all the IE building inside
netdev_build_cmd_ft_authenticate. Instead this logic was moved into
ft.c, and an iovec is now passed from FT into
netdev_ft_tx_authenticate. This leaves the netdev command builder
unburdened by the details of FT, as well as prepares for FT-over-DS.
Blacklist some drivers known to crash when interfaces are deleted or
created so that we don't even attempt that before falling back to using
the default interface.
Read the driver name for each wiphy from sysfs if available. I didn't
find a better way to obtain the driver name for a phy than by reading
the dir name that the "driver" symlink points at. For an existing
netdev this can be done using the SIOCETHTOOL ioctl.
manager_interface_dump_done would use manager_create_interfaces() at the
end of the loop iterating over pending_wiphys. To prevent it from
crashing make sure manager_create_interfaces never frees the pending
wiphy state and instead make the caller check whether it needs to be
freed so it can be done safely inside loops.
Instead of having two separate types of scans make the periodic scan
logic a layer on top of the one-off scan requests, with minimum code to
account for the lower priority of those scans and the fact that periodic
scans also receive results from external scans. Also try to simplify
the code for both the periodic and one-off scans. In the SCAN_RESULTS
and SCAN_ABORT add more complete checks of the current request's state
so we avoid some existing crashes related to external scans.
scan_send_next_cmd and start_next_scan_request are now just one function
since their funcionality was similar and start_next_scan_request is used
everywhere. Also the state after the trigger command receives an EBUSY
is now the same as when a new scan is on top of the queue so we have
fewer situations to consider.
This code still does not account for fragmented scans where an external
scan between two or our fragments flushes the results and we lose some
of the results, or for fragmented scans that take over 30s and the
kernel expires some results (both situations are unlikely.)
In both netdev_{authenticate,associate}_event there is no need to check
for in_ft at the start since netdev->ap will always be set if in_ft is
set.
There was also no need to set eapol_sm_set_use_eapol_start, as setting
require_handshake implies this and achieves the same result when starting
the SM.
Since FT operates over Authenticate/Associate, it makes the most sense
for it to behave like the other auth-protos.
This change moves all the FT specific processing out of netdev and into
ft.c. The bulk of the changes were strait copy-pastes from netdev into
ft.c with minor API changes (e.g. remove struct netdev).
The 'in_ft' boolean unforunately is still required for a few reasons:
- netdev_disconnect_event relies on this flag so it can ignore the
disconnect which comes in when doing a fast transition. We cannot
simply check netdev->ap because this would cause the other auth-protos
to not handle a disconnect correctly.
- netdev_associate_event needs to correctly setup the eapol_sm when
in FT mode by setting require_handshake and use_eapol_start to false.
This cannot be handled inside eapol by checking the AKM because an AP
may only advertise a FT AKM, and the initial mobility association
does require the 4-way handshake.
Now the 'ft' module, previously ftutil, will be used to drive FT via
the auth-proto virtual class. This renaming is in preparation as
ftutil will become obsolete since all the IE building/processing is
going to be moved out of netdev. The new ft.c module will utilize
the existing ftutil functionality, but since this is now a full blown
auth protocol naming it 'ft' is better suited.
The duplicate/similar code in netdev_associate_event and
netdev_connect_event leads to very hard to follow code, especially
when you throw OWE/SAE/FILS or full mac cards into the mix.
Currently these protocols finish the connection inside
netdev_associate_event, and set ignore_connect_event. But for full
mac cards we must finish the connection in netdev_connect_event.
In attempt to simplify this, all connections will be completed
and/or the 4-way started in netdev_connect_event. This satisfies
both soft/full mac cards as well as simplifies the FT processing
in netdev_associate_event. Since the FT IEs can be processed in
netdev_connect_event (as they already are to support full mac)
we can assume that any FT processing inside netdev_associate_event
is for a fast transition, not initial mobility association. This
simplifies netdev_ft_process_associate by removing all the blocks
that would get hit if transition == false.
Handling FT this way also fixes FT-SAE which was broken after the
auth-proto changes since the initial mobility association was
never processed if there was an auth-proto running.
The SAE unit test needed to be updated to use the handshake_driver,
but in addition all the packet building needed a major overhaul. SAE
was changed to behave more like OWE/FILS, in that netdev passes the
raw mpdu frame into the RX callbacks. Before, only the authentication
data was passed. This requires the unit tests to now build up the
entire authentication frame, and in some cases append the header
to the data coming from the TX functions.
SAE was a bit trickier than OWE/FILS because the initial implementation
for SAE did not include parsing raw authenticate frames (netdev skipped
the header and passed just the authentication data). OWE/FILS did not
do this and parse the entire frame in the RX callbacks. Because of this
it was not as simple as just setting some RX callbacks. In addition,
the TX functions include some of the authentication header/data, but
not all (thanks NL80211), so this will require an overhaul to test-sae
since the unit test passes frames from one SM to another to test the
protocol end-to-end (essentially the header needs to be prepended to
any data coming from the TX functions for the end-to-end tests).
Since ERP is only used for FILS and not behaving in the 'normal' ERP
fashion (dealing with actual EAP data, timeouts etc.) we can structure
ERP as a more synchronous protocol, removing the need for a complete
callback.
Now, erp_rx_packet returns a status, so FILS can decide how to handle
any failures. The complete callback was also removed in favor of a
getter for the RMSK (erp_get_rmsk). This allows FILS to syncronously
handle ERP, and potentially fail directly in fils_rx_authenticate.
A new eapol API was added specifically for FILS (eapol_set_started). Since
either way is special cased for FILS, its a bit cleaner to just check the
AKM inside eapol_start and, if FILS, dont start any timeouts or start the
handshake (effectively what eapol_set_started was doing).
This is a new concept applying to any protocol working over authenticate
and/or associate frames (OWE/SAE/FILS). All these protocols behave
similarly enough that they can be unified into a handshake driver
structure.
Now, each protocol will initialize this auth_proto structure inside
their own internal data. The auth_proto will be returned from
the initializer which netdev can then use to manage the protocol by
forwarding authenticate/associate frames into the individual drivers.
The auth_proto consists only of function pointers:
start - starts the protocol
free - frees the driver data
rx_authenticate - receive authenticate frame
rx_associate - receive associate frame
auth_timeout - authenticate frame timed out
assoc_timeout - associate frame timed out
If the setting is true we'll not attempt to remove or create
interfaces on any wiphys and will only use the default interface
(if it exists). If false, force us managing the interfaces. Both
values override the auto logic.
