The packet loss handler puts a higher priority on roaming compared
to the low signal roam path. This is generally beneficial since this
event usually indicates some problem with the BSS and generally is
an indicator that a disconnect will follow sometime soon.
But by immediately issuing a scan we run the risk of causing many
successive scans if more packet loss events arrive following
the roam scans (and if no candidates are found). Logs provided
further.
To help with this handle the first event with priority and
immediately issue a roam scan. If another event comes in within a
certain timeframe (2 seconds) don't immediately scan, but instead
rearm the roam timer instead of issuing a scan. This also handles
the case of a low signal roam scan followed by a packet loss
event. Delaying the roam will at least provide some time for packets
to get out in between roam scans.
Logs were snipped to be less verbose, but this cycled happened
5 times prior. In total 7 scans were issued in 5 seconds which may
very well have been the reason for the local disconnect:

Include a specific timeout value so different protocols can specify
different timeouts. For example once the authentication timeout
should not take very long (even 10 seconds seems excessive) but
adding PKEX may warrant longer timeouts.
For example discovering a configurator IWD may want to wait several
minutes before ending the discovery. Similarly running PKEX as a
configurator we should put a hard limit on the time, but again
minutes rather than 10 seconds.
The memcpy in HEX2BUF was copying the length of the buffer that was
passed in, not the actual length of the converted hexstring. This
test was segfaulting in the Alpine CI which uses clang/musl.
Its been seen (so far only in mac80211_hwsim + UML) where an
offchannel requests ACK comes after the ROC started event. This
causes the ROC started event to never call back to notify since
info->roc_cookie is unset and it appears to be coming from an
external process.
We can detect this situation in the ROC notify event by checking
if there is a pending ROC command and if info->roc_cookie does
not match. This can also be true for an external event so we just
set a new "early_cookie" member and return.
Then, when the ACK comes in for the ROC request, we can validate
if the prior event was associated with IWD or some external
process. If it was from IWD call the started callback, otherwise
the ROC notify event should come later and handled under the
normal logic where the cookies match.
Instead of looking up by wdev, lookup by the ID itself. We
shouldn't ever have more than one info per wdev in the queue but
looking up the _exact_ info structure doesn't hurt in case things
change in the future.
If netconfig is canceled before completion (when roaming) the
settings are freed and never loaded again once netconfig is started
post-roam. Now after a roam make sure to re-load the settings and
start netconfig.
Commit 23f0f5717c did not correctly handle the reassociation
case where the state is set from within station_try_next_transition.
If IWD reassociates netconfig will get reset and DHCP will need to
be done over again after the roam. Instead get the state ahead of
station_try_next_transition.
Fixes: 23f0f5717c ("station: allow roaming before netconfig finishes")
When using mutual authentication an additional value needs to
be hashed when deriving i/r_auth values. A NULL value indicates
no mutual authentication (zero length iovec is passed to hash).
DPP configurators are running the majority of the protocol on the
current operating channel, meaning no ROC work. The retry logic
was bailing out if !dpp->roc_started with the assumption that DPP
was in between requesting offchannel work and it actually starting.
For configurators, this may not be the case. The offchannel ID also
needs to be checked, and if no work is scheduled we can send the
frame.
The prf_plus API was a bit restrictive because it only took a
string label which isn't compatible with some specs (e.g. DPP
inputs to HKDF-Expand). In addition it took additional label
aruments which were appended to the HMAC call (and the
non-intuitive '\0' if there were extra arguments).
Instead the label argument has been removed and callers can pass
it in through va_args. This also lets the caller decided the length
and can include the '\0' or not, dependent on the spec the caller
is following.
Adds a handler for the HE capabilities element and reworks the way
the MCS/NSS support bits are printed.
Now if the MCS support is 3 (unsupported) it won't be printed. This
makes the logs a bit shorter to read.
Matched the printed function name with the actual function name.
The simple-agent test prints the function name to allow easier debugging.
One name was not set currectly (most likely through copy pasting).
SAE was also relying on the ELL bug which was incorrectly performing
a subtraction on the Y coordinate based on the compressed point type.
Correct this and make the point type more clear (rather than
something like "is_odd + 2").
EAP-PWD was incorrectly computing the PWE but due to the also
incorrect logic in ELL the point converted correctly. This is
being fixed, so both places need the reverse logic.
Also added a big comment explaining why this is, and how
l_ecc_point_from_data behaves since its somewhat confusing since
EAP-PWD expects the pwd-seed to be compared to the actual Y
coordinate (which is handled automatically by ELL).
Add a test to show the incorrect ASN1 conversion to and from points.
This was due to the check if Y is odd/even being inverted which
incorrectly prefixes the X coordinate with the wrong byte.
The test itself was not fully correct because it was using compliant
points rather than full points, and the spec contains the entire
Y coordinate so the full point should be used.
This patch also adds ASN1 conversions to validate that
dpp_point_from_asn1 and dpp_point_to_asn1 work properly.
The previous attempt at working around this warning seems to no longer
work with gcc 13

width must be initialized since it depends on best not being NULL. If
best passes the non-NULL check above, then width must be initialized
since both width and best are set at the same time.
For IWD to work correctly either 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands must be enabled
(even for 6GHz to work). Check this and don't allow IWD to initialize
if both 2.4 and 5GHz is disabled.
wiphy_get_allowed_freqs was only being used to see if 6GHz was disabled
or not. This is expensive and requires several allocations when there
already exists wiphy_is_band_disabled(). The prior patch modified
wiphy_is_band_disabled() to return -ENOTSUP which allows scan.c to
completely remove the need for wiphy_get_allowed_freqs.
scan_wiphy_watch was also slightly re-ordered to avoid allocating
freqs_6ghz if the scan request was being completed.
The function wiphy_band_is_disabled() return was a bit misleading
because if the band was not supported it would return true which
could be misunderstood as the band is supported, but disabled.
There was only one call site and because of this behavior
wiphy_band_is_disabled needed to be paired with checking if the
band was supported.
To be more descriptive to the caller, wiphy_band_is_disabled() now
returns an int and if the band isn't supported -ENOTSUP will be
returned, otherwise 1 is returned if the band is disabled and 0
otherwise.
This adds support to allow users to disable entire bands, preventing
scanning and connecting on those frequencies. If the
[Rank].BandModifier* options are set to 0.0 it will imply those
bands should not be used for scanning, connecting or roaming. This
now applies to autoconnect, quick, hidden, roam, and dbus scans.
This is a station only feature meaning other modules like RRM, DPP,
WSC or P2P may still utilize those bands. Trying to limit bands in
those modules may sometimes conflict with the spec which is why it
was not added there. In addition modules like DPP/WSC are only used
in limited capacity for connecting so there is little benefit gained
to disallowing those bands.
To support user-disabled bands periodic scans need to specify a
frequency list filtered by any bands that are disabled. This was
needed in scan.c since periodic scans don't provide a frequency
list in the scan request.
If no bands are disabled the allowed freqs API should still
result in the same scan behavior as if a frequency list is left
out i.e. IWD just filters the frequencies as opposed to the kernel.
Currently the only way a scan can be split is if the request does
not specify any frequencies, implying the request should scan the
entire spectrum. This allows the scan logic to issue an extra
request if 6GHz becomes available during the 2.4 or 5GHz scans.
This restriction was somewhat arbitrary and done to let periodic
scans pick up 6GHz APs through a single scan request.
But now with the addition of allowing user-disabled bands
periodic scans will need to specify a frequency list in case a
given band has been disabled. This will break the scan splitting
code which is why this prep work is being done.
The main difference now is the original scan frequencies are
tracked with the scan request. The reason for this is so if a
request comes in with a limited set of 6GHz frequences IWD won't
end up scanning the full 6GHz spectrum later on.
This is more or less copied from scan_get_allowed_freqs but is
going to be needed by station (basically just saves the need for
station to do the same clone/constrain sequence itself).
One slight alteration is now a band mask can be passed in which
provides more flexibility for additional filtering.
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 loop iterating the frequency attributes list was not including
the entire channel set since it was stopping at i < band->freqs_len.
The freq_attrs array is allocated to include the last channel:
band->freq_attrs = l_new(struct band_freq_attrs, num_channels + 1);
band->freqs_len = num_channels;
So instead the for loop should use i <= band->freqs_len. (I also
changed this to start the loop at 1 since channel zero is invalid).
