This will make the debug API more robust as well as fix issues
certain drivers have when trying to roam. Some of these drivers
may flush scan results after CMD_CONNECT which results in -ENOENT
when trying to roam with CMD_AUTHENTICATE unless you rescan
explicitly.
Now this will be taken care of automatically and station will first
scan for the BSS (or full scan if not already in results) and
attempt to roam once the BSS is seen in a fresh scan.
The logic to replace the old BSS object was factored out into its
own function to be shared by the non-debug roam scan. It was also
simplified to just update the network since this will remove the
old BSS if it exists.
Add a second netconfig-commit backend which, if enabled, doesn't
directly send any of the network configuration to the kernel or system
files but delegates the operation to an interested client's D-Bus
method as described in doc/agent-api.txt. This backend is switched to
when a client registers a netconfig agent object and is swiched away
from when the client disconnects or unregisters the agent. Only one
netconfig agent can be registered any given time.
Add netconfig_event_handler() that responds to events emitted by
the l_netconfig object by calling netconfig_commit, tracking whether
we're connected for either address family and emitting
NETCONFIG_EVENT_CONNECTED or NETCONFIG_EVENT_FAILED as necessary.
NETCONFIG_EVENT_FAILED is a new event as until now failures would cause
the netconfig state machine to stop but no event emitted so that
station.c could take action. As before, these events are only
emitted based on the IPv4 configuration state, not IPv6.
Add netconfig-commit.c whose main method, netconfig_commit actually sets
the configuration obtained by l_netconfig to the system netdev,
specifically it sets local addresses on the interface, adds routes to the
routing table, sets DNS related data and may add entries to the neighbor
cache. netconfig-commit.c uses a backend-ops type structure to allow
for switching backends. In this commit there's only a default backend
that uses l_netconfig_rtnl_apply() and a struct resolve object to write
the configuration.
netconfig_gateway_to_arp is moved from netconfig.c to netconfig-commit.c
(and renamed.) The struct netconfig definition is moved to netconfig.h
so that both files can access the settings stored in the struct.
To avoid repeated lookups by ifindex, replace the ifindex member in
struct netconfig with a struct netdev pointer. A struct netconfig
always lives shorter than the struct netdev.
* make the error handling simpler,
* make error messages more consistent,
* validate address families,
* for IPv4 skip l_rtnl_address_set_noprefixroute()
as l_netconfig will do this internally as needed.
* for IPv6 set the default prefix length to 64 as that's going to be
used for the local prefix route's prefix length and is a more
practical value.
Drop all the struct netconfig members where we were keeping the parsed
netconfig settings and add a struct l_netconfig object. In
netconfig_load_settings load all of the settings once parsed directly
into the l_netconfig object. Only preserve the mdns configuration and
save some boolean values needed to properly handle static configuration
and FILS. Update functions to use the new set of struct netconfig
members.
These booleans mirroring the l_netconfig state could be replaced by
adding l_netconfig getters for settings which currently only have
setters.
In anticipation of switching to use the l_netconfig API, which
internally handles DHCPv4, DHCPv6, ACD, etc., drop pointers to
instances of l_dhcp_client, l_dhcp6_client and l_acd from struct
netconfig. Also drop all code used for handling events from these
APIs, including code to commit the received configurations to the
system. Committing the final settings to the system netdevs is going to
be handled by a new set of utilities in a new file.
Update ConfigureIPv{4,6}() parameters to simplify mapping our sets of
addresses and routes directly to D-Bus dictionaries. Split Cancel()
into CancelIPv{4,6}().
The RRM module was blindly scanning using the requested
frequency which may or may not be possible given the hardware.
Instead check that the frequency will work and if not reject
the request.
This was reported by a user seeing the RRM scan fail which was
due to the AP requesting a scan on 5GHz when the adapter was
2.4GHz only.
The hostapd events for RRM come regardless of success
so they need to be checked as such. In addition one more
RRM request was added to scan on a frequency which is
disabled (operating class 82, channel 14).
Support for MAC address changes while powered was recently added to
mac80211. This avoids the need to power down the device which both
saves time as well as preserves any allowed frequencies which may
have been disabled if the device powered down.
The code path for changing the address was reused but now just the
'up' callback will be provided directly to l_rtnl_set_mac. Since
there aren't multiple stages of callbacks the rtnl_data structure
isn't strictly needed, but the code looks cleaner and more
consistent between the powered/non-powered code paths.
The comment/debug error print was also updated to be more general
between the two MAC change code paths.
Documentation for MulticastDNS setting suggests it should be part of the
main iwd configuration file. See man iwd.config. However, in reality
the setting was being pulled from the network provisioning file instead.
The latter actually makes more sense since systemd-resolved has its own
set of global defaults. Fix the documentation to reflect the actual
implementation.
Previously we had an ACD failure scenario where a new client forces its
IP to create an IP conflict and an already-connected client detects the
conflict and reacts. Now first test a scenario where a newly connecting
IWD client runs ACD before setting its statically configured IP, detects
a conflict and refuses to continue, then run the second scenario where
the newly connecting DHCP-configured client ignores the conflict and
starts ACD in defend-indefinitely mode and the older client in
defent-once mode gives up its IP.
Due to those variables being global (IWD class variables) calling either
unregister_psk_agent or del on one IWD class instance would unregister
all agents on all instances. Move .psk_agents and two other class
variables to the object. They were already referenced using "self."
as if they were object variables throughout the class.
Part of static_test.py starts a second IWD instance and tries to make
it connect to the AP with the same IP address as the first IWD instance
which is already connected, to produce an IP conflict. For this, the
second instance uses DHCP and the test expects the DHCP server to offer
the address 192.168.1.10 to it. However in the current setup the DHCP
server manages to detect that 192.168.1.10 is in use and offers .11
instead. Break the DHCP server's conflict detection by disabling ICMP
ping replies in order to fix the test.
Previously this has worked because the AP's and the DHCP server's
network interface is in the same network namespace as the first IWD
instance's network interface meaning that pings between the two
interfaces shouldn't work (a known Linux kernel routing quirk...).
I am not sure why those pings currently do work but take no chances and
disable ICMP pings.
netdev does not keep any pointers to struct scan_bss arguments that are
passed in. Make this explicitly clear by modifying the API definitions
and mark these as const.
This adds a few utilities for setting up an FT environment. All the
roaming tests basically copy/paste the same code for setting up the
hostapd instances and this can cause problems if not done correctly.
set_address() sets the MAC address on the device, and restarts hostapd
group_neighbors() takes a list of HostapdCLI objects and makes each a
neighbor to the others.
The neighbor report element requires the operating class which isn't
advertised by hostapd. For this we assume operating class 81 but this
can be set explicitly if it differs. Currently no roaming tests use
5/6GHz frequencies, and just in case an exception will be thrown if
the channel is greater than 14 and the op_class didn't change.
The packet loss test had a few problems. First being that the RSSI for
the original BSS was not low enough to change the rank. This meant any
roam was just lucky that the intended BSS was first in the results.
The second problem is timing related, and only happens on UML. Disabling
the rules after the roaming condition sometimes allows IWD to fully
roam and connect before the next state change checks.
A new test which blocks all data frames once connected, then tries
to send 100 packets. This should result in the kernel sending a
packet loss event to userspace, which IWD should react to and roam.
This adds a new netdev event for packet loss notifications from
the kernel. Depending on the scenario a station may see packet
loss events without any other indications like low RSSI. In these
cases IWD should still roam since there is no data flowing.
The limitations of readline required that the autocompletion choose
a 'default' device. With multiple phys this doesn't work. Now the
readline limitation has been worked around and station can look up
the device for the command completion.
There is a limitation of libreadline where no context/userdata
can be passed to completion functions. Thi affects iwctl since
the entity value isn't known to completion functions.
Workarounds such as getting the default device are employed but
its not a great solution.
Instead hack around this limitation by parsing the prompt to
extract the entity (second arg). Then use a generic match function
given to readline which can call the actual match function and
include the entity.
The ATTR_ARRAY type was quite limited, only supporting u16/u32 and
addresses. This changes the union to a struct so nested/function
can be defined along with array_type.
Some APs use an older hostapd OWE implementation which incorrectly
derives the PTK. To work around this group 19 should be used for
these APs. If there is a failure (reason=2) and the AKM is OWE
set force default group into network and retry. If this has been
done already the behavior is no different and the BSS will be
blacklisted.
