The logic here assumed any BSS's in the roam scan were identical to
ones in station's bss_list with the same address. Usually this is true
but, for example, if the BSS changed frequency the one in station's
list is invalid.
Instead when a match is found remove the old BSS and re-insert the new
one.
This adds checks if MFP is set to 0 or 1:
0 - Always fail if the frequency is 6GHz
1 - Fail if MFPC=0 and the frequency is 6GHz.
If HW is capable set MFPR=1 for 6GHz
This debug print was before any checks which could bail out prior to
autoconnect starting. This was confusing because debug logs would
contain multiple "station_autoconnect_start()" prints making you think
autoconnect was started several times.
station_set_scan_results takes an autoconnect flag which was being
set true in both regular/quick autoconnect scans. Since OWE networks
are processed after setting the scan results IWD could end up
connecting to a network before all the OWE hidden networks are
populated.
To fix this regular/quick autoconnect results will set the flag to
false, then process OWE networks, then start autoconnect. If any
OWE network scans are pending station_autoconnect_start will fail
but will pick back up after the hidden OWE scan.

There is an unchecked NULL pointer access in network_has_open_pair.
open_info can be NULL, when out of multiple APs in range that advertise
the same SSID some advertise OWE transition elments and some don't.
The Hotspot 2.0 spec has some requirements that IWD was missing depending
on a few bits in extended capabilities and the HS2.0 indication element.
These requirements correspond to a few sysfs options that can be set in
the kernel which are now set on CONNECTED and unset on DISCONNECTED.
Add netconfig_enabled() and use that in all places that want to know
whether network configuration is enabled. Drop the enable_network_config
deprecated setting, which was only being handled in one of these 5 or so
places.
It was seen during testing that several offload-capable cards
were not including the OCI in the 4-way handshake. This made
any OCV capable AP unconnectable.
To be safe disable OCV on any cards that support offloading.
netconfig_load_settings is called when establishing a new initial
association to a network. This function tries to update dhcp/dhcpv6
clients with the MAC address of the netdev being used. However, it is
too early to update the MAC here since netdev might need to powercycle
the underlying network device in order to update the MAC (i.e. when
AddressRandomization="network" is used).
If the MAC is set incorrectly, DHCP clients are unable to obtain the
lease properly and station is stuck in "connecting" mode indefinitely.
Fix this by delaying MAC address update until netconfig_configure() is
invoked.

If the AP advertises FT-over-DS support it likely wants us to use
it. Additionally signal_low is probably going to be true since IWD
has started a roam attempt.
When netdev goes down so does station, but prior to netdev calling
the neighbor report callback. The way the logic was written station
is dereferenced prior to checking for any errors, causing a use
after free.
Since -ENODEV is used in this case check for that early before
accessing station.
This changes scan_bss from using separate members for each
OWE transition element data type (ssid, ssid_len, and bssid)
to a structure that holds them all.
This is being done because OWE transition has option operating
class and channel bytes which will soon be parsed. This would
end up needing 5 separate members in scan_bss which is a bit
much for a single IE that needs to be parsed.
This makes checking the presense of the IE more convenient
as well since it can be done with a simple NULL pointer check
rather than having to l_memeqzero the BSSID.
OWE Transition is described in the WiFi Alliance OWE Specification
version 1.1. The idea behind it is to support both legacy devices
without any concept of OWE as well as modern ones which support the
OWE protocol.
OWE is a somewhat special type of network. Where it advertises an
RSN element but is still "open". This apparently confuses older
devices so the OWE transition procedure was created.
The idea is simple: have two BSS's, one open, and one as a hidden
OWE network. Each network advertises a vendor IE which points to the
other. A device sees the open network and can connect (legacy) or
parse the IE, scan for the hidden OWE network, and connect to that
instead.
Care was taken to handle connections to hidden networks directly.
The policy is being set that any hidden network with the WFA OWE IE
is not connectable via ConnectHiddenNetwork(). These networks are
special, and can only be connected to via the network object for
the paired open network.
When scan results come in from any source (DBus, quick, autoconnect)
each BSS is checked for the OWE Transition IE. A few paths can be
taken here when the IE is found:
1. The BSS is open. The BSSID in the IE is checked against the
current scan results (excluding hidden networks). If a match is
found we should already have the hidden OWE BSS and nothing
else needs to be done (3).
2. The BSS is open. The BSSID in the IE is not found in the
current scan results, and the open network also has no OWE BSS
in it. This will be processed after scan results.
3. The BSS is not open and contains the OWE IE. This BSS will
automatically get added to the network object and nothing else
needs to be done.
After the scan results each network is checked for any non-paired
open BSS's. If found a scan is started for these BSS's per-network.
Once these scan results come in the network is notified.
From here network.c can detect that this is an OWE transition
network and connect to the OWE BSS rather than the open one.
DBus scan is performed in several subsets. In certain corner-case
circumstances it would be possible for autoconnect to run after each
subset scan. Instead, trigger autoconnect only after the dbus scan
completes.
This also works around a condition where ANQP results could trigger
autoconnect too early.
Several invocations of station_set_scan_results() base the
'add_to_autoconnect' parameter on station_is_autoconnecting(). Simplify
the code by having station_set_scan_results() invoke that itself.
'add_to_autoconnect' now becomes an 'intent' parameter, specifying
whether autoconnect path should be invoked as a result of these scan
results or not when station is in an appropriate state. Rename
'add_to_autoconnect' parameter to make this clearer.
If the frequency of the bss is not in the list of frequencies for the
current scan, then this is a cached bss. It was likely already
processed for ANQP before, so skip it.
IWD has restricted SSIDs to only utf8 so they can be displayed but
with the addition of OWE transition networks this is an unneeded
restriction (for these networks). The SSID of an OWE transition
network is never displayed to the user so limiting to utf8 isn't
required.
Allow non-utf8 SSIDs to be scanned for by including the length in
the scan parameters and not relying on strlen().
With the addition of OWE transition network needs to be notified
of the hidden OWE scan which is quite similar to how it is notified
of ANQP. The ANQP event watch can be made generic and reused to
allow other events besides ANQP.
This is being added to support OWE transition mode. For these
type of networks the OWE BSS may contain a different SSID than
that of the network, but the WFA spec requires this be hidden
from the user. This means we need to set the handshake SSID based
on the BSS rather than the network object.
Send and receive the FILS IP Address Assignment IEs during association.
As implemented this would work independently of FILS although the only
AP software handling this mechanism without FILS is likely IWD itself.
No support is added for handling the IP assignment information sent from
the server after the initial Association Request/Response frames, i.e.
the information is only used if it is received directly in the
Association Response without the "response pending" bit, otherwise the
DHCP client will be started.
Split loading settings out of network_configure into a new method,
network_load_settings. Make sure both consistently handle errors by
printing messages and informing the caller.
Add a handshake event for use by the AP side for mechanisms that
allocate client IPs during the handshake: P2P address allocation and
FILS address assignment. This is emitted only when EAPOL or the
auth_proto is actually about to send the network configuration data to
the client so that ap.c can skip allocating a DHCP leases altogether if
the client doesn't send the required KDE or IE.
This is meant to be used as a generic notification to autotests. For
now 'no-roam-candidates' is the only event being sent. The idea
is to extend these events to signal conditions that are otherwise
undiscoverable in autotesting.
This is to support the autotesting framework by allowing a smaller
scan subset. This will cut down on the amount of time spent scanning
via normal DBus scans (where the entire spectrum is scanned).
Most autotests do not want autoconnect behavior so it is being
turned off by default. There are a few tests where it is needed
and in these few cases the test can enable autoconnect through
the new station debug property.
This adds the property "AutoConnect" to the station debug interface
which can be read/written to disable or enable autoconnect globally.
As one would expect this property is only going to be used for testing
hence why it was put on the debug interface. Mosts tests disable
autoconnect (or they should) because it leads to unexpected connections.
This method will initiate a connection to a specific BSS rather
than relying on a network based connection (which the user has
no control over which specific BSS is selected).
The preparing_roam flag is expected to be set by a few roam
routines and normally this is done prior to the roam scan.
The Roam() developer option was not doing this and would
cause failed roams in some cases.
This variable ended up being used only on the fast-transition path. On
the re-associate path it was never used, but memcpy-ied nevertheless.
Since its only use is by auth_proto based protocols, move it to the
auth_proto object directly.
Due to how prepare_ft works (we need prev_bssid from the handshake, but
the handshake is reset), have netdev_ft_* methods take an 'orig_bss'
parameter, similar to netdev_reassociate.
This refactors some code to eliminate getting the ERP entry twice
by simply returning it from network_has_erp_identity (now renamed
to network_get_erp_cache). In addition this code was moved into
station_build_handshake_rsn and properly cleaned up in case there
was an error or if a FILS AKM was not chosen.
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.
This indication can come in via EAPoL message 3 or during
FILS Association. It carries information as to whether certain
transition mode options should be disabled. See WPA3 Specification,
version 3 for more details.
Most parameters set into the handshake object are actually known by the
network object itself and not station. This includes address
randomization settings, EAPoL settings, passphrase/psk/8021x settings,
etc. Since the number of these settings will only keep growing, move
the handshake setup into network itself. This also helps keep network
internals better encapsulated.
There will be additional security-related settings that will be
introduced for settings files. In particular, Hash-to-Curve PT
elements, Transition Disable settings and potentially others in the
future. Since PSK is now not the only element that would require
update, rename this function to better reflect this.
If the idea is that the interface should only be present when connected
then don't do this in the DISCONNECTING state as there are various
possible transitions from CONNECTED or ROAMING directly to DISCONNECTED.
station_free() is invoked when one of two possibilities happen:
- Device has been powered down, and EVENT_DOWN has been emitted
- Device has been removed, and EVENT_DEL has been emitted
In both cases there is not much point for netdev_disconnect to be
invoked as that tries to cleanly shut down an existing connection. The
only thing the ABORTED error accomplishes in this case is to send a
dbus_aborted_error for the pending_connect message, if it exists.
There's already code for doing this in station_free().

If the connected BSS changes channel, netdev will emit an event with the
new channel's frequency. In response, have station change the frequency
of the connected scan_bss struct and inform network about the update.
Right now, if a connection to a network selected by auto-connect fails,
the entire autoconnect process is restarted. This means that scans are
kicked off again, auto-connect list is rebuilt, etc. This was due to
auto-connect reusing the same failure path as connections triggered via
D-Bus.
The above behavior can lead to weird situations in certain corner cases.
For example, a highly preferred network configured with the wrong
password would result in auto-connect entering an infinite loop.
Fix this by making sure that all auto-connect entries are tried and
exhausted prior to re-scanning again.
This will be effectively the same as the CONNECTING state, but can be
used to enable differing behavior, depending on whether connection was
triggered by autoconnect or via D-Bus.
Prior to the BSS blacklist a BSS based autoconnect list made
the most sense, but now station actually retries all BSS's upon
failure. This means that for each BSS in the autoconnect list
every other BSS under that SSID will be attempted to connect to
if there is a failure. Essentially this is a network based
autoconnect list, just an indirect way of doing it.
Intead the autoconnect list can be purely network based, using
the network rank for sorting. This avoids the need for a special
autoconnect_entry struct as well as ensures the last connected
network is chosen first (simply based on existing network ranking
logic).
Since netdev maintains the list of FT over DS info structs there is not
any need for station to get callbacks when the initial action frame
is received, or not. This removes the need for the callback handler,
user data, and response timeout.
Roam times can be slightly improved by sending out the FT-over-DS
action frames to any BSS in the mobility domain immediately after
connecting. This preauthenticates IWD to each AP which means
Reassociation can happen right away when a roam is needed.
When a roam is needed station_transition_start will first try
FT-over-DS (if supported) via netdev_fast_transtion_over_ds. The
return is checked and if netdev has no cached entries FT-over-Air
will be used instead.
This is being added as a developer method and should not be used
in production. For testing purposes though, it is quite useful as
it forces IWD to roam to a provided BSS and bypasses IWD's roaming
and ranking logic for choosing a roam candidate.
To use this a BSSID is provided as the only parameter. If this
BSS is not in IWD's current scan results -EINVAL will be returned.
If IWD knows about the BSS it will attempt to roam to it whether
that is via FT, FT-over-DS, or Reassociation. These details are
still sorted out in IWDs station_transition_start() logic.
FT-over-DS was refactored to separate the FT action frame and
reassociation. From stations standpoint IWD needs to call
netdev_fast_transition_over_ds_action prior to actually roaming.
For now these two stages are being combined and the action
roam happens immediately after the action response callback.
Prior to this the diagnostic interface was taken down when station
transitioned to DISCONNECTED. This worked but once station is in
a DISCONNECTING state it then calls netdev_disconnect(). Trying to
get any diagnostic data during this time may not work as its
unknown what state exactly the kernel is in. To be safe take the
interface down when station is DISCONNECTING.
Under very rare circumstances the roaming scan triggered might not be
canceled properly. This is because we issue the roam scan recursively
from within a scan callback and re-use the id of the scan for the
subsequent request. The destroy callback is invoked right after the
callback and resets the id. This leads to the scan not being canceled
properly in roam_state_clear().

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.
Logically this frame watch belongs in station. It was kept in device.c
for the purported reason that the station object was removed with
ifdown/ifup changes and hence the frame watch might need to be removed
and re-added unnecessarily. Since the kernel does not actually allow to
unregister a frame watch (only when the netdev is removed or its iftype
changes), re-adding a frame watch might trigger a -EALREADY or similar
error.
Avoid this by registering the frame watch when a new netdev is detected
in STATION mode, or when the interface type changes to STATION.
station should be isolated as much as possible from the details of the
driver type and how a particular AKM is handled under the hood. It will
be up to wiphy to pick the best AKM for a given bss. netdev in turn
will pick how to drive the particular AKM that was picked.
In the same vein as requesting a neighbor report after
connecting for the first time, it should also be done
after a roam to obtain the latest neighbor information.
When we cancel a quick scan that has already been triggered, the
Scanning property is never reset to false. This doesn't fully reflect
the actual scanning state of the hardware since we don't (yet) abort
the scan, but at least corrects the public API behavior.

If IWD is connecting to a SAE/WPA3 BSS and Auth/Assoc commands

network_connect should have verified that the extended feature
for SAE offload exists so we can simply enable offload if these
commands are not supported.
If the hardware roams automatically we want to be sure to not
react to CQM events and attempt to roam/disconnect on our own.
Note: this is only important for very new kernels where CQM
events were recently added to brcmfmac.
Roaming on a full mac card is quite different than soft mac
and needs to be specially handled. The process starts with
the CMD_ROAM event, which tells us the driver is already
roamed and associated with a new AP. After this it expects
the 4-way handshake to be initiated. This in itself is quite
simple, the complexity comes with how this is piped into IWD.
After CMD_ROAM fires its assumed that a scan result is
available in the kernel, which is obtained using a newly
added scan API scan_get_firmware_scan. The only special
bit of this is that it does not 'schedule' a scan but simply
calls GET_SCAN. This is treated special and will not be
queued behind any other pending scan requests. This lets us
reuse some parsing code paths in scan and initialize a
scan_bss object which ultimately gets handed to station so
it can update connected_bss/bss_list.
For consistency station must also transition to a roaming state.
Since this roam is all handled by netdev two new events were
added, NETDEV_EVENT_ROAMING and NETDEV_EVENT_ROAMED. Both allow
station to transition between roaming/connected states, and ROAMED
provides station with the new scan_bss to replace connected_bss.
An earlier patch fixed a problem where a queued quick scan would
be triggered and fail once already connected, resulting in a state
transition from connected --> autoconnect_full. This fixed the
Connect() path but this could also happen via autoconnect. Starting
from a connected state, the sequence goes:
- DBus scan is triggered
- AP disconnects IWD
- State transition from disconnected --> autoconnect_quick
- Queue quick scan
- DBus scan results come in and used to autoconnect
- A connect work item is inserted ahead of all others, transition
from autoconnect_quick --> connecting.
- Connect completes, transition from connecting --> connected
- Quick scan can finally get triggered, which the kernel fails to
do since IWD is connected, transition from connected -->
autoconnect_full.
This can be fixed by checking for a pending quick scan in the
autoconnect path.
Commit eac2410c83 ("station: Take scanned frequencies into account")
has made it unnecessary to explicitly invoke station_set_scan_results
with the expire to true in case a dbus scan finished prematurely or a
subset was not able to be started. Remove this no-longer needed logic.
Fixes: eac2410c83 ("station: Take scanned frequencies into account")
The diagnostic interface returns an error anyways if station is
not connected so it makes more sense to only bring the interface
up when its actually usable. This also removes the interface
when station disconnects, which was never done before (the
interface stayed up indefinitely due to a forgotten remove call).
When we're auto-connecting and have hidden networks configured, use
active scans regardless of whether we see any hidden BSSes in our
existing scan results.
This allows us to more effectively see/connect to hidden networks
when first powering up or after suspend.
Kernel might report hidden BSSes that are reported from beacon frames
separately than ones reported due to probe responses. This may confuse
the station network collation logic since the scan_bss generated by the
probe response might be removed erroneously when processing the scan_bss
that was generated due to a beacon.
Make sure that bss_match also takes the SSID into account and only
matches scan_bss structures that have the same BSSID and SSID contents.
Instead of manually managing whether to expire BSSes or not, use the
scanned frequency set instead. This makes the API slightly easier to
understand (dropping two boolean arguments in a row) and also a bit more
future-proof.
Commit d372d59bea checks whether a hidden network had a previous
connection attempt and re-tries. However, it inadvertently dropped
handling of a condition where a non-hidden network SSID is provided to
ConnectHiddenNetwork. Fix that.
Fixes: d372d59bea ("station: Allow ConnectHiddenNetwork to be retried")
Now that ConnectHiddenNetwork can be invoked while we're connected, set
the mac randomization hint parameter properly. The kernel will reject
requests if randomization is enabled while we're connected to a network.
If we forget a hidden network, then make sure to remove it from the
network list completely. Otherwise it would be possible to still
issue a Network.Connect to that particular object, but the fact that the
network is hidden would be lost.

In the case that ConnectHiddenNetwork scans successfully, but fails for
some other reason, the network object is left in the scan results until
it expires. This will prevent subsequent attempts to use
ConnectHiddenNetwork with a .NotHidden error. Fix that by checking
whether a found network is hidden, and if so, allow the request to
proceed.
Rework the logic slightly so that this function returns an error message
on error and NULL on success, just like other D-Bus method
implementations. This also simplifies the code slightly.
We used to not allow to connect to a different network while already
connected. One had to disconnect first. This also applied to
ConnectHiddenNetwork calls.
This restriction can be dropped now. station will intelligently
disconnect from the current AP when a station_connect_network() is
issued.
If the disconnect fails and station_disconnect_onconnect_cb is called
with an error, we reply to the original message accordingly.
Unfortunately pending_connect is not unrefed or cleared in this case.
Fix that.
Fixes: d0ee923dda ("station: Disconnect, if needed, on a new connection attempt")
At some point the non-interactive client tests began failing.
This was due to a bug in station where it would transition from
'connected' to 'autoconnect' due to a failed scan request. This
happened because a quick scan got scheduled during an ongoing
scan, then a Connect() gets issued. The work queue treats the
Connect as a priority so it delays the quick scan until after the
connection succeeds. This results in a failed quick scan which
IWD does not expect to happen when in a 'connected' state. This
failed scan actually triggers a state transition which then
gets IWD into a strange state where its connected from the
kernel point of view but does not think it is:
src/station.c:station_connect_cb() 13, result: 0
src/station.c:station_enter_state() Old State: connecting, new state: connected
src/wiphy.c:wiphy_radio_work_done() Work item 6 done
src/wiphy.c:wiphy_radio_work_next() Starting work item 5
src/station.c:station_quick_scan_triggered() Quick scan trigger failed: -95
src/station.c:station_enter_state() Old State: connected, new state: autoconnect_full
To fix this IWD should simply cancel any pending quick scans
if/when a Connect() call comes in.
With AP now getting its own diagnostic interface it made sense
to move the netdev_station_info struct definition into its own
header which eventually can be accompanied by utilities in
diagnostic.c. These utilities can then be shared with AP and
station as needed.
Following a successful roaming sequence, schedule another attempt unless
the driver has sent a high RSSI notification. This makes the behaviour
analogous to a failed roaming attempt where we remained connected to the
same BSS.
This makes iwd compatible with wireless drivers which do not necessarily
send out a duplicate low RSSI notification upon reassociation. Without
this change, iwd risks getting indefinitely stuck to a BSS with low
signal strength, even though a better BSS might later become available.
In the case of a high RSSI notification, the minimum roam time will also
be reset to zero. This preserves the original behaviour in the case
where a high RSSI notification is processed after station_roamed().
Doing so also gives a chance for faster roaming action in the following
example scenario:
1. RSSI LOW
2. schedule roam in 5 seconds
(5 seconds pass)
3. try roaming
4. roaming fails, same BSS
5. schedule roam in 60 seconds
(20 seconds pass)
6. RSSI HIGH
7. cancel scheduled roam
(20 seconds pass)
8. RSSI LOW
9. schedule roam in 5 seconds or 20 seconds?
By resetting the minimum roam time, we can avoid waiting 20 seconds when
the station may have moved considerably. And since the high/low RSSI
notifications are configured with a hysteresis, we should still be
protected against too frequent spurious roaming attempts.
Add a parameter to station_set_scan_results to allow skipping the
removal of old BSSes. In the DBus-triggered scan only expire BSSes
after having gone through the full supported frequency set.
It should be safe to pass partial scan results to
station_set_scan_results() when not expiring BSSes so using this new
parameter I guess we could also call it for roam scan results.
A scan normally takes about 2 seconds on my dual-band wifi adapter when
connected. The drivers will normally probe on each supported channel in
some unspecified order and will have new partial results after each step
but the kernel sends NL80211_CMD_NEW_SCAN_RESULTS only when the full
scan request finishes, and for segmented scans we will wait for all
segments to finish before calling back from scan_active() or
scan_passive().
To improve user experience define our own channel order favouring the
2.4 channels 1, 6 and 11 and probe those as an individual scan request
so we can update most our DBus org.connman.iwd.Network objects more
quickly, before continuing with 5GHz band channels, updating DBus
objects again and finally the other 2.4GHz band channels.
The overall DBus-triggered scan on my wifi adapter takes about the same
time but my measurements were not very strict, and were not very
consistent with and without this change. With the change most Network
objects are updated after about 200ms though, meaning that I get most
of the network updates in the nm-applet UI 200ms from opening the
network list. The 5GHz band channels take another 1 to 1.5s to scan and
remaining 2.4GHz band channels another ~300ms.
Hopefully this is similar when using other drivers although I can easily
imagine a driver that parallelizes 2.4GHz and 5GHz channel probing using
two radios, or uses 2, 4 or another number of dual-band radios to probe
2, 4, ... channels simultanously. We'd then lose some of the
performance benefit. The faster scan results may be worth the longer
overall scan time anyway.
I'm also assuming that the wiphy's supported frequency list is exactly
what was scanned when we passed no frequency list to
NL80211_CMD_TRIGGER_SCAN and we won't get errors for passing some
frequency that shouldn't have been scanned.
Waiting to request neighbor reports until we are in need of a roam
delays the roam time, and probably isn't as reliable since we are
most likely in a low RSSI state. Instead the neighbor report can
be requested immediately after connecting, saved, and used if/when
a roam is needed. The existing behavior is maintained if the early
neighbor report fails where a neighbor report is requested at the
time of the roam.
The code which parses the reports was factored out and shared
between the existing (late) neighbor report callback and the early
neighbor report callback.
Modern kernels ~5.4+ have changed the way lost beacons are
reported and effectively make the lost beacon event useless
because it is immediately followed by a disconnect event. This
does not allow IWD enough time to do much of anything before
the disconnect comes in and we are forced to fully re-connect
to a different AP.
periodic_scan_stop is called whenever we exit the autoscan state but a
periodic scan may not be running at the time. If we have a
user-triggered scan running, or the autoconnect_quick scan, and we reset
Scanning to false before that scan finished, a client could en up
calling GetOrderedNetwork too early and not receiving the scan results.
ConnectHiddenNetwork can be seen a triggering this sequence:
1. the active scan,
2. the optional agent request,
3. the Authentication/Association/4-Way Handshake/netconfig,
4. connected state
Currently Disconnect() interrupts 3 and 4, allow it to also interrupt
state 1. It's difficult to tell whether we're in state 2 from within
station.c.
For multi-bss networks its nice to know which BSS is being connected
to. The ranking can hint at it, but blacklisting or network capabilities
could effect which network is actually chosen. An explicit debug print
makes debugging much easier.
Move the update of station->networks_sorted order to before we set
station->connected_network NULL to avoid a crash when we attempt to
use the NULL pointer.
Besides being undefined behaviour, signed integer overflow can cause
unexpected comparison results. In the case of network_rank_compare(),
a connected network with rank INT_MAX would cause newly inserted
networks with negative rank to be inserted earlier in the ordered
network list. This is reflected in the GetOrderedMethods() DBus method
as can be seen in the following iwctl output:
[iwd]# station wlan0 get-networks
Network name Security Signal
----------------------------------------------------
BEOLAN 8021x **** }
BeoBlue psk *** } all unknown,
UI_Test_Network psk *** } hence assigned
deneb_2G psk *** } negative rank
BEOGUEST open **** }
> titan psk ****
Linksys05274_5GHz_dmt psk ****
Lyngby-4G-4 5GHz psk ****
Doing so ensures that the currently connected network is always at the
beginning of the list. Previously, the list would only get updated after
a scan.
This fixes the documented behaviour of GetOrderedNetworks() DBus method,
which states that the currently connected network is always at the
beginning of the returned array.
To use the wiphy radio work queue, scanning mostly remained the same.
start_next_scan_request was modified to be used as the work callback,
as well as not start the next scan if the current one was done
(since this is taken care of by wiphy work queue now). All
calls to start_next_scan_request were removed, and more or less
replaced with wiphy_radio_work_done.
scan_{suspend,resume} were both removed since radio management
priorities solve this for us. ANQP requests can be inserted ahead of
scan requests, which accomplishes the same thing.
Before connecting to a hidden network we must scan. During this scan
if another connection attempt comes in the expected behavior is to
abort the original connection. Rather than waiting for the scan to
complete, then canceling the original hidden connection we can just
cancel the hidden scan immediately, reply to dbus, and continue with
the new connection attempt.
The new frame-xchg module now handles a lot of what ANQP used to do. ANQP
now does not need to depend on nl80211/netdev for building and sending
frames. It also no longer needs any of the request lookups, frame watches
or to maintain a queue of requests because frame-xchg filters this for us.
From an API perspective:
- anqp_request() was changed to take the wdev_id rather than ifindex.
- anqp_cancel() was added so that station can properly clean up ANQP
requests if the device disappears.
During testing a bug was also fixed in station on the timeout path
where the request queue would get popped twice.
When roaming, iwd tries to scan a limited number of frequencies to keep
the roaming latency down. Ideally the frequency list would come in from
a neighbor report, but if neighbor reports are not supported, we fall
back to our internal database for known frequencies of this network.
iwd tries to keep the number of scans down to a bare minimum, which
means that we might miss APs that are in range. This could happen
because the user might have moved physically and our frequency list is
no longer up to date, or if the AP frequencies have been reconfigured.
If a limited scan fails to find any good roaming candidates, re-attempt
a full scan right away.
If the roam failed and we are no longer connected, station_disassociated
is called which ends up calling station_roam_state_clear. Thus
resetting the variables is not needed. Reflow the logic to make this a
bit more explicit.
If the roam attempt fails, do not reset this to false. Generally this
is set by the fact that we lost beacon and to not attempt neighbor
reports, etc. This hint should be preserved across roam attempts.
Right now, if the connection fails, then network always thinks that the
password should be re-asked. Loosen this to only do so if the
connection failed at least in the handshake phase. If the connection
failed due to Association / Authentication timeout, it is likely that
something is wrong with the AP and it can't respond.
This is to allow network to watch for ANQP activity in order to
fix the race condition between scanning finishing and ANQP finishing.
Without this it is possible for a DBus Connect() to come in before
ANQP has completed and causing the network to return NotConfigured,
when its actually in the process of obtaining all the network info.
The watch was made globally in station due to network not having
a station object until each individual network is created. Adding a
watch during network creation would result in many watchers as well
as a lot of removal/addition as networks are found and lost.
