The HE capabilities information is contained in
NL80211_BAND_ATTR_IFTYPE_DATA where each entry is a set of attributes
which define the rules for one or more interface types. This patch
specifically parses the HE PHY and HE MCS data which will be used for
data rate estimation.
Since the set of info is per-iftype(s) the data is stored in a queue
where each entry contains the PHY/MCS info, and a uint32 bit mask where
each bit index signifies an interface type.
With the addition of HE, the print function for MCS sets needs to change
slightly. The maps themselves are the same format, but the values indicate
different MCS ranges. Now the three MCS max values are passed in.
- Mostly problems with whitespace:
- Use of spaces instead of tabs
- Stray spaces before closing ')
- Missing spaces
- Missing 'void' from function declarations & definitions that
take no arguments.
- Wrong indentation level
Move the reading of ControlPortOverNL80211 into wiphy itself and
renamed wiphy_control_port_capable to wiphy_control_port_enabled.
This makes things easier for any modules interested in control
port support since they will only have to check this one API rather
than read the settings and check capability.
Some drivers might not actually support control port properly even if
advertised by mac80211. Introduce a new method to wiphy that will take
care of looking up any driver quirks that override the presence of
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CONTROL_PORT_OVER_NL80211
Under certain conditions, access points with very low signal could be
detected. This signal is too low to estimate a data rate and causes
this L_WARN to fire. Fix this by returning a -ENETUNREACH error code in
case the signal is too low for any of the supported rates.
Transition Disable indications and information stored in the network
profile needs to be enforced. Since Transition Disable information is
now stored inside the network object, add a new method
'network_can_connect_bss' that will take this information into account.
wiphy_can_connect method is thus deprecated and removed.
Transition Disable can also result in certain AKMs and pairwise ciphers
being disabled, so wiphy_select_akm method's signature is changed and
takes the (possibly overriden) ie_rsn_info as input.
Returns a template RSNX element that can be further modified by callers
to set any additional capabilities if required. wiphy will fill in
those capabilities that are driver / firmware dependent.
Move the band definition out of wiphy.c and into band.[ch]. This is
done to make certain utilities that depend on band information capable
of being tested from unit tests.
The band concept will most likely grow over time. For now, the only
user will be wiphy.c and unit tests, so the structures are kept public.
The data rate estimation belongs in wiphy since it should take hardware
capabilities into account. Right now the data rate calculation simply
assumes the hardware is as capable as the AP. scan.c will be ported to
use this utility and the data rate estimation will be expanded to take
wiphy capabilities into account.
Right now a very limited set of band parameters are parsed into wiphy.
This includes the supported rates and the supported frequencies.
However, there is much more information that is given for each band.
Introduce a new band object that will store this information and can be
extended for future use.
A prior commit refactored the AKM selection in wiphy.c. This
ended up breaking FILS tests due to the hard coding of a
false fils_hint in wiphy_select_akm. Since our FILS tests
only advertise FILS AKMs wiphy_can_connect would return false
for these networks.
Similar to wiphy_select_akm, add a fils hint parameter to
wiphy_can_connect and pass that down directly to wiphy_select_akm.
Until now FT was only supported via Auth/Assoc commands which barred
any fullmac cards from using FT AKMs. With PSK offload support these
cards can do FT but only when offloading is used.
Commit 6e8b76527 added a switch statement for AKM suites which
was not correct as this is a bitmask and may contain multiple
values. Intead we can rely on wiphy_select_akm which is a more
robust check anyways.
Fixes: 6e8b765278 ("wiphy: add check for CMD_AUTH/CMD_ASSOC support")
Fix a logic error which prevented iwd from using SAE/WPA3 when
attempting to connect to APs that are in transition mode. The SAE/WPA3
check incorrectly required mfpr bit to be set, which is true for
APs in WPA3-Personal only mode, but is set to 0 for APs in
WPA3-Personal transition mode.
This patch also adds a bit more diagnostic output to help diagnose
causes for connections where WPA3 is not attempted even when advertised
by the AP.
These APIs will handle fairness and order in any operations which
radios can only do sequentially (offchannel, scanning, connection etc.).
Both scan and frame-xchg are complex modules (especially scanning)
which is why the radio management APIs were implemented generic enough
where the changes to both modules will be minimal. Any module that
requires this kind of work can push a work item into the radio
management work queue (wiphy_radio_work_insert) and when the work
is ready to be started radio management will call back into the module.
Once the work is completed (and this may be some time later e.g. in
scan results or a frame watch) the module can signal back that the
work is finished (wiphy_radio_work_done). Wiphy will then pop the
queue and continue with the next work item.
A concept of priority was added in order to allow important offchannel
operations (e.g. ANQP) to take priority over other work items. The
priority is an integer, where lower values are of a higher priority.
The concept of priority cleanly solves a lot of the complexity that
was added in order to support ANQP queries (suspending scanning and
waiting for ANQP to finish before connecting).
Instead ANQP queries can be queued at a higher priority than scanning
which removes the need for suspending scans. In addition we can treat
connections as radio management work and insert them at a lower
priority than ANQP, but higher than scanning. This forces the
connection to wait for ANQP without having to track any state.
Some full mac cards don't like being given a FT AKM when connecting.
From an API perspective this should be supported, but in practice
these cards behave differently and some do no accept FT AKMs. Until
this becomes more stable any cards not supporting Auth/Assoc commands
(full mac) will not connect using FT AKMs.
When a new wiphy is added query its regulatory domain and listen for
nl80211 regulatory notifications to be able to provide current
regulatory country code through the new wiphy_get_reg_domain_country().
If the AP only supports an AKM which requires an auth protocol
CMD_AUTHENTICATE/CMD_ASSOCIATE must be supported or else the
auth protocol cannot be run. All the auth protocols are started
assuming that the card supports these commands, but the support
was never checked when parsing supported commands.
This patch will prevent any fullMAC cards from using
SAE/FILS/OWE. This was the same behavior as before, just an
earlier failure path.
This API is being added to support per-network MAC address
generation. The MAC is generated based on the network SSID
and the adapters permanent address using HMAC-SHA256. The
SHA digest is then constrained to make it MAC address
compliant.
Generating the MAC address like this will ensure that the
MAC remains the same each time a given SSID is connected to.
The kernel emits NEW_WIPHY events whenever a new wiphy is registered.
Unfortunately these events are emitted under the 'legacy' semantics and
have a hard size limit of 4096 bytes. Unfortunately, it is possible for
a NEW_WIPHY message to exceed this limit (ath10k cards seem to be
affected in particular), which results in the kernel never sending these
messages out. This can lead to NEW_INTERFACE events being emitted with
a wiphy_id that had no corresponding NEW_WIPHY event emitted. Such a
sequence can confuse iwd's hardware detection logic, particularly during
hot-plug or system boot.
Fix this by re-dumping the wiphy if such a condition is detected. This
has some interaction with blacklisted wiphys, so the wiphy objects are
now always tracked and marked as blacklisted. Before, the blacklisted
wiphys were simply not added to the iwd list of tracked wiphys.
