This exposes the [Rank].BandModifier* settings so other modules
can use then. Doing this will allow user-disabling of certain
bands by setting these modifier values to 0.0.
The scan_passive API wasn't using a const struct scan_freq_set as it
should be since it's not modifying the contents. Changing this to
const did require some additional changes like making the scan_parameters
'freqs' member const as well.
After changing scan_parameters, p2p needed updating since it was using
scan_parameters.freqs directly. This was changed to using a separate
scan_freq_set pointer, then setting to scan_parameters.freqs when needed.
This was already implemented in station but with no dependency on
that module at all. AP will need this for a scanning API so its
being moved into scan.c.
This changes scan_bss from using separate members for each
OWE transition element data type (ssid, ssid_len, and bssid)
to a structure that holds them all.
This is being done because OWE transition has option operating
class and channel bytes which will soon be parsed. This would
end up needing 5 separate members in scan_bss which is a bit
much for a single IE that needs to be parsed.
This makes checking the presense of the IE more convenient
as well since it can be done with a simple NULL pointer check
rather than having to l_memeqzero the BSSID.
Specifically OWE networks with multiple open/hidden BSS's are troublesome
to scan for with the current APIs. The scan parameters are limited to a
single SSID and even if that was changed we have the potential of hitting
the max SSID's per scan limit. In all, it puts the burden onto the caller
to sort out the SSIDs/frequencies to scan for.
Rather than requiring station to handle this a new scan API was added,
scan_owe_hidden() which takes a list of open BSS's and will automatically
scan for the SSIDs in the OWE transition IE for each.
It is slightly optimized to first check if all the hidden SSID's are the
same. This is the most likely case (e.g. single pair or single network)
and a single scan command can be used. Otherwise individual scan commands
are queued for each SSID/frequency combo.
IWD has restricted SSIDs to only utf8 so they can be displayed but
with the addition of OWE transition networks this is an unneeded
restriction (for these networks). The SSID of an OWE transition
network is never displayed to the user so limiting to utf8 isn't
required.
Allow non-utf8 SSIDs to be scanned for by including the length in
the scan parameters and not relying on strlen().
Adds support for getting firmware scan results from the kernel.
This is intended to be used after the firmware roamed automatically
and the scan result is require for handshake initialization.
The scan 'request' is competely separate from the normal scan
queue, though scan_results, scan_request, and the scan_context
are all used for consistency and code reuse.
Handle situations where the BSS we're trying to connect to is no longer
in the kernel scan result cache. Normally, the kernel will re-scan the
target frequency if this happens on the CMD_CONNECT path, and retry the
connection.
Unfortunately, CMD_AUTHENTICATE path used for WPA3, OWE and FILS does
not have this scanning behavior. CMD_AUTHENTICATE simply fails with
a -ENOENT error. Work around this by trying a limited scan of the
target frequency and re-trying CMD_AUTHENTICATE once.
To use the wiphy radio work queue, scanning mostly remained the same.
start_next_scan_request was modified to be used as the work callback,
as well as not start the next scan if the current one was done
(since this is taken care of by wiphy work queue now). All
calls to start_next_scan_request were removed, and more or less
replaced with wiphy_radio_work_done.
scan_{suspend,resume} were both removed since radio management
priorities solve this for us. ANQP requests can be inserted ahead of
scan requests, which accomplishes the same thing.
Save the source frame type in struct scan_bss as it may affect how some
of the data in the struct will be parsed. Also replace the P2P IE
payload data in that struct with a union containing pre-parsed p2p
attributes corresponding to the frame type.
This means users don't have to call the parsers in p2putil.c on that
data, which wouldn't have worked anyway because those parsers assume
input is the raw IE sequence rather than just the "payload".
The kernel sends NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_START_TIME_TSF with CMD_TRIGGER and
RRM requires this value for beacon measurement reports.
The start time is parsed during CMD_TRIGGER and set into the scan request.
A getter was added to obtain this time value for an already triggered
scan.
After making the change, the SCAN_ABORTED case was cleaned up a bit to
remove the local scan_request usage in favor of the one used for all the
other cases.
The kernel allows a scan duration and duration mandatory flag to be
set in scan requests. RRM requests can contain these values so they
have been added to scan_parameters.
Scanning with drivers which do not support EXT_FEATURE_SET_SCAN_DWELL
will not include these values in scan requests.
For (Re)Association the HS20 indication element was passed exactly as
it was found in the scan results. The spec defines what bits can be
set and what cannot when this IE is used in (Re)Association. Instead
of assuming the AP's IE conforms to the spec, we now parse the IE and
re-build it for use with (Re)Association.
Since the full IE is no longer used, it was removed from scan_bss, and
replaced with a bit for HS20 support (hs20_capable). This member is
now used the same as hs20_ie was.
The version parsed during scan results is now used when building the
(Re)Association IE.
The HS20 indication element should always be included during
(Re)Association per the spec. This removes the need for a
dedicated boolean, and now the hs20_ie can be used instead.
P2P probe requests are to be sent at min 6.0 Mb/s using OFDM,
specifically the 802.11b rates are prohibited (section 2.4.1 in Wi-Fi
P2p Technical Spec v1.7), some of which use CCK modulation. This is
already the default for 5G but for 2.4G the drivers generally do this
if we set the NL80211_ATTR_TX_NO_CCK_RATE flags with
NL80211_CMD_TRIGGER_SCAN.
The ifindex is used to index the netdevs in the system (wlan, ethernet,
etc.) but we can also do wifi scanning on interfaces that have no
corresponding netdev object, like the P2P-device virtual interfaces.
Use the wdev id's to reference interfaces, the nl80211 api doesn't care
whether we use a NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX or NL80211_ATTR_WDEV. Only
wireless interfaces have a wdev id.
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.
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
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.
Previously, the scan results were disregarded once the new
ones were available. To enable the scan scenarios where the
new scan results are delivered in parts, we introduce a
concept of aging BSSs and will remove them based on
retention time.
