Similar to the HT/VHT APIs, this estimates the data rate based on the
HE Capabilities element, in addition to our own capabilities. The
logic is much the same as HT/VHT. The major difference being that HE
uses several MCS tables depending on the channel width. Each width
MCS set is checked (if supported) and the highest estimated rate out
of all the MCS sets is used.
There appears to be a compiler bug with gcc 11.2 which thinks the vht_mcs_set
is a zero length array, and the memset of size 8 is out of bounds. This is only
seen once an element is added to 'struct band'.

In test-band the band object was allocated using l_malloc, but not
memset to zero. This will cause problems if allocated pointers are
included in struct band once band is freed.
This increases the maximum data rate which now is possible with HE.
A few comments were also updated, one to include 6G when adjusting
the rank for >4000mhz, and the other fixing a typo.
This is a general way of finding the best MCS/NSS values which will work
for HT, VHT, and HE by passing in the max MCS values for each value which
the MCS map could contain (0, 1, or 2).
The HE capabilities information is contained in
NL80211_BAND_ATTR_IFTYPE_DATA where each entry is a set of attributes
which define the rules for one or more interface types. This patch
specifically parses the HE PHY and HE MCS data which will be used for
data rate estimation.
Since the set of info is per-iftype(s) the data is stored in a queue
where each entry contains the PHY/MCS info, and a uint32 bit mask where
each bit index signifies an interface type.
With the addition of HE, the print function for MCS sets needs to change
slightly. The maps themselves are the same format, but the values indicate
different MCS ranges. Now the three MCS max values are passed in.
This queue will hold iftype(s) specific data for HE capabilities. Since
the capabilities may differ per-iftype the data is stored as such. Iftypes
may share a configuration so the band_he_capabilities structure has a
mask for each iftype using that configuration.
When PCI adapters are properly configured they should exist in the
vfio-pci system tree. It is assumed any devices configured as such
are used for test-runner.
This removes the need for a hw.conf file to be supplied, but still
is required for USB adapters. Because of this the --hw option was
updated to allow no value, or a file path.
subprocess.Popen's wait() method was overwritten to be non-blocking but
in certain circumstances you do want to wait forever. Fix this to allow
timeout=None, which calls the parent wait() method directly.
Certain module dependencies were missing, which could cause a crash on
exit under (very unlikely) circumstances.

the source directory is owned by somebody other than root one might
get:

git config --global --add safe.directory /home/balrog/repos/iwd

Test that the DHCPv4 lease got renewed after the T1 timer runs out.
Then also simulate the DHCPREQUEST during renew being lost and
retransmitted and the lease eventually getting renewed T1 + 60s later.
The main downside is that this test will inevitably take a while if
running in Qemu without the time travel ability.
Update the test and some utility code to run hostapd in an isolated net
namespace for connection_test.py. We now need a second hostapd
instance though because in static_test.py we test ACD and we need to
produce an IP conflict. Moving the hostapd instance unexpectedly fixes
dhcpd's internal mechanism to avoid IP conflicts and it would no longer
assign 192.168.1.10 to the second client, it'd notice that address was
already in use and assign the next free address, or fail if there was
none. So add a second hostapd instance that runs in the main namespace
together with the statically-configured client, it turns out the test
relies on the kernel being unable to deliver IP traffic to interfaces on
the same system.
The kernel will not let us test some scenarios of communication between
two hwsim radios (e.g. STA and AP) if they're in the same net namespace.
For example, when connected, you can't add normal IPv4 subnet routes for
the same subnet on two different interfaces in one namespace (you'd
either get an EEXIST or you'd replace the other route), you can set
different metrics on the routes but that won't fix IP routing. For
testNetconfig the result is that communication works for DHCP before we
get the inital lease but renewals won't work because they're unicast.
Allow hostapd to run on a radio that has been moved to a different
namespace in hw.conf so we don't have to work around these issues.
The --start option was directly passed to the kernel init parameter,
preventing any environment setup from happening.
Intead always use 'run-tests' as the init process but detect --start
and execute that binary/script once inside the environment.
The table header needs to be adjusted to include spaces between
columns.
The 'adapter list' command was also updated to shorted a few
columns which were quite long for the data that is actually displayed.
The existing color code escape sequences required the user to set the
color, write the string, then unset with COLOR_OFF. Instead the macros
can be made to take the string itself and automatically terminate the
color with COLOR_OFF. This makes for much more concise strings.
ad-hoc, ap, and wsc all had descriptions longer than the max width but
this is now taken care of automatically. Remove the tab and newline's
from the description.
The WSC pin command description was also changed to be more accurate
since the pin does not need to be 8 digits.
There was no easy to use API for printing the contents of a table, and
was left up to the caller to handle manually. This adds display_table_row
which makes displaying tables much easier, including automatic support
for line truncation and continuation on the next line.
Lines which are too long will be truncated and displayed on the next
line while also taking into account any colored output. This works with any
number of columns.
This removes the need for the module to play games with encoding newlines
and tabs to make the output look nice.
As a start, this functionality was added to the command display.
This fixes a crash associated with toggling the iftype to AP mode
then calling GetDiagnostics. The diagnostic interface is never
cleaned up when netdev goes down so DBus calls can still be made
which ends up crashing since the AP interface objects are no longer
valid.
Running the following iwctl commands in a script (once or twice)
triggers this crash reliably:
iwctl device wlp2s0 set-property Mode ap
iwctl device wlp2s0 set-property Mode station
iwctl device wlp2s0 set-property Mode ap
iwctl ap wlp2s0 start myssid secret123
iwctl ap wlp2s0 show
