Commit 1057d8aa74 changed the device interface creation logic
from being unconditional inside netdev.c to instead use NETDEV_WATCH_*
events. However, this broke the assumption that the device interface
was created before all others. The effect is that the scan_wdev_add
might no longer be called prior to station interface being created. Fix
this by moving scan_wdev_add/remove calls to netdev.c instead.
Fixes: 1057d8aa74 ("device: Move device creation from netdev.c to event watch")
Create and destroy the device state struct and the DBus interfaces in a
way more similar to the Station, AdHoc and AP interfaces. Drop
netdev_get_device() and the device specific code in netdev that as far
as I can tell wasn't needed.
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.
Since device object no longer creates / destroys station objects, use
station_find inside ap directed roam events to direct these to the
station interface.
Instead of creating the Station interface in device.c create it directly
on the netdev watch event the same way that the AP and AdHoc interfaces
are created and freed. This fixes some minor incosistencies, for
example station_free was previously called twice, once from device.c and
once from the netdev watch.
device.c would previously keep the pointer returned by station_create()
but that pointer was not actually useful so remove it. Autotests still
seem to pass.
Move the roam initiation (signal loss, ap directed roaming) and scanning
details into station from device. Certain device functions have been
exposed temporarily to make this possible.
process_bss performs two main operations. It adds a seen BSS to a
network object (existing or new) and if the device is in the autoconnect
state, it adds an autoconnect entry as needed. Split this operation
into two separate & independent steps.
