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()).
