Its been seen that some vendors incorrectly set the 3rd byte of the
country code which causes the band lookup to fail with the provided
operating class. This isn't compliant with the spec, but its been
seen out in the wild and it causes IWD to behave poorly, specifically
with roaming since it cannot parse neighbor reports. This then
requires IWD to do a full scan on each roam.
Instead of a hard rejection, IWD can instead attempt to determine
the band by ignoring that 3rd byte and only use the alpha2 string.
This makes IWD slightly less strict but at the advantage of not being
crippled when exposed to poor AP configurations.
This was added to support a single buggy AP model that failed to
negotiate the SAE group correctly. This may still be a problem but
since then the [Network].UseDefaultEccGroup option has been added
which accomplishes the same thing.
Remove the special handling for this specific OUI and rely on the
user setting the new option if they have problems.
Both ell/shared and ell/internal targets first create the ell/
directory within IWD. This apparently was just luck that one of
these always finished first in parallel builds. On my system at
least when building using dpkg-buildpackage IWD fails to build
due to the ell/ directory missing. From the logs it appears that
both the shared/internal targets were started but didn't complete
(or at least create the directory) before the ell/ell.h target:
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/jprestwood/tmp/iwd'
/usr/bin/mkdir -p ell
/usr/bin/mkdir -p ell
echo -n > ell/ell.h
/usr/bin/mkdir -p src
/bin/bash: line 1: ell/ell.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [Makefile:4028: ell/ell.h] Error 1
Creating the ell/ directory within the ell/ell.h target solve
the issue. For reference this is the configure command dpkg
is using:

Experimental AP-mode support for receiving a Confirm frame when in the
COMMITTED state. The AP will reply with a Confirm frame.
Note that when acting as an AP, on reception of a Commit frame, the AP
only replies with a Commit frame. The protocols allows to also already
send the Confirm frame, but older clients may not support simultaneously
receiving a Commit and Confirm frame.
Don't mark either client as being the authenticator. In the current unit
tests, both instances act as clients to test functionality. This ensures
the unit does not show an error during the following commits where SAE
for AP mode is added.
This was overlooked in a prior patch and causes warnings to be
printed when the RSSI is too low to estimate an HE data rate or
due to incompatible local capabilities (e.g. MCS support).
Similar to the other estimations, return -ENETUNREACH if the IE
was valid but incompatible.
If the RSSI is too low or the local capabilities were not
compatible to estimate the rate don't warn but instead treat
this the same as -ENOTSUP and drop down to the next capability
set.
If we register the main EAPOL frame listener as late as the associate
event, it may not observe ptk_1_of_4. This defeats handling for early
messages in eapol_rx_packet, which only sees messages once it has been
registered.
If we move registration to the authenticate event, then the EAPOL
frame listeners should observe all messages, without any possible
races. Note that the messages are not actually processed until
eapol_start() is called, and we haven't moved that call site. All
that's changing here is how early EAPOL messages can be observed.
netdev_disconnect() was unconditionally sending CMD_DISCONNECT which
is not the right behavior when IWD has not associated. This means
that if a connection was started then immediately canceled with
the Disconnect() method the kernel would continue to authenticate.
Instead if IWD has not yet associated it should send a deauth
command which causes the kernel to correctly cleanup its state and
stop trying to authenticate.
Below are logs showing the behavior. Autoconnect is started followed
immediately by a DBus Disconnect call, yet the kernel continues
sending authenticate events.

In most cases any failure here is likely just due to the AP not
supporting the feature, whether its HE/VHT/HE. This should result
in the estimation returning -ENOTSUP in which case we move down
the list. Any other non-zero return we will now warn to make it
clear the IEs did exist, but were not properly formatted.
All length check failures were changed to continue instead of
fail. This will now treat invalid lengths as if the IE did not
exist.
In addition HE specifically has an extra validation function which,
if failed, was bailing out of the estimation function entirely.
Instead this is now treated as if there was no HE capabilities and
the logic can move down to VHT, HT, or basic rates.
This was changed from too large of a mask (0xff) in an earlier
commit but was masking 5 bits instead of 6.
Fixes: 121c2c5653 ("monitor: properly mask HE capabilities bitfield")
Caught by static analysis, the dev->conn_peer pointer was being
dereferenced very early on without a NULL check, but further it
was being NULL checked. If there is a possibility of it being NULL
the check should be done much earlier.
If the test needs to do something very specific it may be useful to
prevent IWD from managing all the radios. This can now be done
by setting a "reserve" option in the radio settings. The value of
this should be something other than iwd, hostapd, or wpa_supplicant.
For example:
[rad1]
reserve=false
Caught by static analysis, if ATTR_MAC was not in the message there
would be a memcpy with uninitialized bytes. In addition there is no
reason to memcpy twice. Instead 'mac' can be a const pointer which
both verifies it exists and removes the need for a second memcpy.
Static analysis complains that 'last' could be NULL which is true.
This really could only happen if every frequency was disabled which
likely is impossible but in any case, check before dereferencing
the pointer.
Since these are all stack variables they are not zero initialized.
If parsing fails there may be invalid pointers within the structures
which can get dereferenced by p2p_clear_*
The input queue pointer was being initialized unconditionally so if
parsing fails the out pointer is still set after the queue is
destroyed. This causes a crash during cleanup.
Instead use a temporary pointer while parsing and only after parsing
has finished do we set the out pointer.

When HUP is received the IO read callback was never completing which
caused it to block indefinitely until waited for. This didn't matter
for most transient processes but for IWD, hostapd, wpa_supplicant
it would cause test-runner to hang if the process crashed.
Detecting a crash is somewhat hacky because we have no process
management like systemd and the return code isn't reliable as some
processes return non-zero under normal circumstances. So to detect
a crash the process output is being checked for the string:
"++++++++ backtrace ++++++++". This isn't 100% reliable obviously
since its dependent on how the binary is compiled, but even if the
crash itself isn't detected any test should still fail if written
correctly.
Doing this allows auto-tests to handle IWD crashes gracefully by
failing the test, printing the exception (event without debugging)
and continue with other tests.
The slaac_test was one that would occationally fail, but very rarely,
due to the resolvconf log values appearing in an unexpected order.
This appears to be related to a typo in netconfig-commit which would
not set netconfig-domains and instead set dns_list. This was fixed
with a pending patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/iwd/20240227204242.1509980-1-denkenz@gmail.com/T/#u
But applying this now leads to testNetconfig failing slaac_test
100% of the time.
I'm not familiar enough with resolveconf to know if this test change
is ok, but based on the test behavior the expected log and disk logs
are the same, just in the incorrect order. I'm not sure if this the
log order is deterministic so instead the check now iterates the
expected log and verifies each value appears once in the resolvconf
log.
Here is an example of the expected vs disk logs after running the
test:
Expected:
-a wlan1.dns
nameserver 192.168.1.2
nameserver 3ffe:501:ffff💯:10
nameserver 3ffe:501:ffff💯:50
-a wlan1.domain
search test1
search test2
Resolvconf log:
-a wlan1.domain
search test1
search test2
-a wlan1.dns
nameserver 192.168.1.2
nameserver 3ffe:501:ffff💯:10
nameserver 3ffe:501:ffff💯:50
static analysis complains that authenticator is used uninitialized.
This isn't strictly true as memory region is reserved for the
authenticator using the contents of the passed in structure. This
region is then overwritten once the authenticator is actually computed
by authenticator_put(). Silence this warning by explicitly setting
authenticator bytes to 0.

This shouldn't be possible in theory since the roam_bss_list being
iterated is a subset of entire scan_bss list station/network has
but to be safe, and catch any issues due to future changes warn on
this condition.
