Several netdev events benefit from including event data in the callback.
This is similar to how the connect callback works as well. The content
of the event data is documented in netdev.h (netdev_event_func_t).
By including event data for the two disconnect events, we can pass the
reason code to better handle the failure in station.c. Now, inside
station_disconnect_event, we still check if there is a pending connection,
and if so we can call the connect callback directly with HANDSHAKE_FAILED.
Doing it this way unifies the code path into a single switch statment to
handle all failures.
In addition, we pass the RSSI level index as event data to
RSSI_LEVEL_NOTIFY. This removes the need for a getter to be exposed in
netdev.h.
On successful send, scan_send_start(..) used to set msg to NULL,
therefore the further management of the command by the caller was
impossible. This patch removes wrapper around l_genl_family_send()
and lets the callers to take responsibility for the command.
This change cleans up the mess of status vs reason codes. The two
types of codes have already been separated into different enumerations,
but netdev was still treating them the same (with last_status_code).
A new 'event_data' argument was added to the connect callback, which
has a different meaning depending on the result of the connection
(described inside netdev.h, netdev_connect_cb_t). This allows for the
removal of netdev_get_last_status_code since the status or reason
code is now passed via event_data.
Inside the netdev object last_status_code was renamed to last_code, for
the purpose of storing either status or reason. This is only used when
a disconnect needs to be emitted before failing the connection. In all
other cases we just pass the code directly into the connect_cb and do
not store it.
All ocurrences of netdev_connect_failed were updated to use the proper
code depending on the netdev result. Most of these simply changed from
REASON_CODE_UNSPECIFIED to STATUS_CODE_UNSPECIFIED. This was simply for
consistency (both codes have the same value).
netdev_[authenticate|associate]_event's were updated to parse the
status code and, if present, use that if their was a failure rather
than defaulting to UNSPECIFIED.
Even though .check_settings in our EAP method implementations does the
settings validation, .load_settings also has minimum sanity checks to
rule out segfaults if the settings have changed since the last
.check_settings call.
To add forward-declaration of statics rule. This rule is already
enforced, but for some reason the document in iwd did not have this rule
in it (it is in other projects, like oFono)
If OWE fails in association there is no reason to send a disconnect
since its already known that we failed. Instead we can directly
call netdev_connect_failed
Instead of sending a reason_code to netdev_setting_keys_failed, make it
take an errno (negative) instead. Since key setting failures are
entirely a system / software issue, and not a protocol issue, it makes
no sense to use a protocol error code.
Some users may need their own control over 2.4/5GHz preference. This
adds a new user option, 'rank_5g_factor', which allows users to increase
or decrease their 5G preference.
This is a VERY simple test for HT/VHT. Since there are so many potential
options in the IE this really just tests that drops in RSSI will cause
IWD to choose a different BSS, even if that means choosing HT over VHT,
or even basic rates over HT/VHT.
This adds support for parsing the VHT IE, which allows a BSS supporting
VHT (80211ac) to be ranked higher than a BSS supporting only HT/basic
rates. Now, with basic/HT/VHT parsing we can calculate the theoretical
maximum data rate for all three and rank the BSS based on that.
This adds HT IE parsing and data rate calculation for HT (80211n)
rates. Now, a BSS supporting HT rates will be ranked higher than
a basic rate BSS, assuming the RSSI is at an acceptable level.
The spec dictates RSSI thresholds for different modulation schemes, which
correlate to different data rates. Until now were were ranking a BSS with
only looking at its advertised data rate, which may not even be possible
if the RSSI does not meet the threshold.
Now, RSSI is taken into consideration and the data rate returned from
parsing (Ext) Supported Rates IE(s) will reflect that.
All over the place we do "ie[1] + 2" for getting the IE length. It
is much clearer to use a macro to do this. The macro also checks
for NULL, and returns zero in this case.
Supported rates will soon be parsed along with HT/VHT capabilities
to determine the best data rate. This will remove the need for the
supported_rates uintset element in scan_bss, as well as the single
API to only parse the supported rates IE. AP still does rely on
this though (since it only supports basic rates), so the parsing
function was moved into ap.c.
HT/VHT require setting the regulatory domain to something other
than 00. This adds an option to the hardware config which allows
the regulatory domain to be set to any country.
HT/VHT require channels who's use is restricted depending on
country. When using these channels, cfg80211 tries to load the
regulatory.db file in /lib/firmware and verify the signature.
This poses a problem as the host machine may not have a signed
regulatory.db, or it may have not been signed with the expected
signature which would cause cfg80211 to fail to load the database.
If cfg80211 fails to load the database the country will be set to
00, which is the most restrictive "world roaming" setting. This
does not allow HT/VHT to work properly.
In the context of test-runner we can simply disable the verification.
Unforunately this is not a very common practice, so CONFIG_EXPERT
must be enabled.
If your system does not have /lib/firmware/regulatory.db you must
get it. More info can be found here:

In the methods' check_settings do a more complete early check for
possible certificate / private key misconfiguration, including check
that the certificate and the private key are always present or absent
together and that they actually match each other. Do this by encrypting
and decrypting a small buffer because we have no better API for that.
A method's .check_settings method checks for inconsistent setting files
and prints readable errors so there's no need to do that again in
.load_settings, although at some point after removing the duplicate
error messages from the load_settings methods we agreed to keep minimum
checks that could cause a crash e.g. in a corner case like when the
setting file got modified between the check_settings and the
load_settings call. Some error messages have been re-added to
load_settings after that (e.g. in
bb4e1ebd4f) but they're incomplete and not
useful so remove them.
When this test was written only group 19 was supported. The 'bad_group'
test used, at the time, unsupported group 20. Now group 20 is supported
so this test was expecting a failure. This updates the test to use group
0xff, which is not a valid ECC group and should always fail.
Previously, the storage dir has only been created after a successful
network connection, causing removal of Known Network interface from
Dbus and failure to register dir watcher until daemon is restarted.
A length check was still assuming the 256 bit ECC group. This
was updated to scale with the group. The commit buffer was also
not properly sized. This was changed to allow for the largest
ECC group supported.
SAE was hardcoded to work only with group 19. This change fixes up the
hard coded lengths to allow it to work with group 20 since ELL supports
it. There was also good amount of logic added to support negotiating
groups. Before, since we only supported group 19, we would just reject
the connection to an AP unless it only supported group 19.
This did lead to a discovery of a potential bug in hostapd, which was
worked around in SAE in order to properly support group negotiation.
If an AP receives a commit request with a group it does not support it
should reject the authentication with code 77. According to the spec
it should also include the group number which it is rejecting. This is
not the case with hostapd. To fix this we needed to special case a
length check where we would otherwise fail the connection.
SAE has a clogging test which requires 4 radios to all simultaneously
connect. All the other tests are only using one of these radios, so
in these tests we explicitly disconnect these devices preventing them
from autoconnecting.
Since the EAP-PWD fragmentation test uses group 19 there is test
coverage there for that group. This changes connection_test to use
group 20 instead of 19.
Most of this work was already done after moving ECC into ELL, but
there were still a few places where the 256-bit group was assumed.
This allows the 384-bit group to be used, and theoretically any
other group added to ELL in the future.
