This will be called from station after FT-authentication has
finished. It sets up the handshake object to perform reassociation.
This is essentially a copy-paste of ft_associate without sending
the actual frame.
Certain return codes, though failures, can indicate that the AP is
just confused or booting up and treating it as a full failure may
not be the best route.
For example in some production deployments if an AP is rebooted it
may take some time for neighboring APs to exchange keys for
current associations. If a client roams during that time it will
reject saying the PMKID is invalid.
Use the ft_associate call return to communicate the status (if any)
that was in the auth/action response. If there was a parsing error
or no response -ENOENT is still returned.
This is consistent with the over-Air path, and makes it clear when
reading the logs if over-DS was used, if there was a response frame,
and if the frame failed to parse in some way.
If there was some problem during the FT authenticate stage
its nice to know more of what happened: whether the AP didn't
respond, rejected the attempt, or sent an invalid frame/IEs.
If IWD gets a disconnect during FT the roaming state will be
cleared, as well as any ft_info's during ft_clear_authentications.
This includes canceling the offchannel operation which also
destroys any pending ft_info's if !info->parsed. This causes a
double free afterwards. In addition the l_queue_remove inside the
foreach callback is not a safe operation either.
To fix this don't remove the ft_info inside the offchannel
destroy callback. The info will get freed by ft_associate regardless
of the outcome (parsed or !parsed). This is also consistent with
how the onchannel logic works.

Currently when we try FT-over-Air, the Authenticate frame is always
sent via offchannel infrastructure We request the driver to go
offchannel, then send the Authenticate frame. This works fine as long
as the target AP is on a different channel. On some networks some (or
all) APs might actually be located on the same channel. In this case
going offchannel will result in some drivers not actually sending the
Authenticate frame until after the offchannel operation completes.
Work around this by introducing a new ft_authenticate variant that will
not request an offchannel operation first.
Queue the FT action just like we do with FT Authenticate which makes
it able to be used the same way, i.e. call ft_action() then queue
the ft_associate work right away.
A timer was added to end the work item in case the target never
responds.
Clearing all authentications during ft_authenticate was a very large
hammer and may remove cached authentications that could be used if
the current auth attempt fails.
For example the best BSS may have a problem and fail to authenticate
early with FT-over-DS, then fail with FT-over-Air. But another BSS
may have succeeded early with FT-over-DS. If ft_authenticate clears
all ft_infos that successful authentication will be lost.
Once offchannel completes we can check if the info structure was
parsed, indicating authentication succeeded. If not there is no
reason to keep it around since IWD will either try another BSS or
fail.
This finalizes the refactor by moving all the handshake prep
into FT itself (most was already in there). The netdev-specific
flags and state were added into netdev_ft_tx_associate which
now avoids any need for a netdev API related to FT.
The NETDEV_EVENT_FT_ROAMED event is now emitted once FT completes
(netdev_connect_ok). This did require moving the 'in_ft' flag
setting until after the keys are set into the kernel otherwise
netdev_connect_ok has no context as to if this was FT or some
other connection attempt.
In addition the prev_snonce was removed from netdev. Restoring
the snonce has no value once association begins. If association
fails it will result in a disconnect regardless which requires
a new snonce to be generated
Now the full action frame including the header is provided to ft
which breaks the existing parser since it assumes the buffer starts
at the body of the message.
A new API was added, ft_authenticate, which will send an
authentication frame offchannel via CMD_FRAME. This bypasses
the kernel's authentication state allowing multiple auth
attempts to take place without disconnecting.
Currently netdev handles caching FT auth information and uses FT
parsers/auth-proto to manage the protocol. This sets up to remove
this state machine from netdev and isolate it into ft.c.
This does not break the existing auth-proto (hence the slight
modifications, which will be removed soon).
Eventually the auth-proto will be removed from FT entirely, replaced
just by an FT state machine, similar to how EAPoL works (netdev hooks
to TX/RX frames).
A user reported that IWD was failing to FT in some cases and this was
due to the AP setting the Retry bit in the frame type. This was
unexpected by IWD since it directly checks the frame type against
0x00b0 which does not account for any B8-B15 bits being set.
IWD doesn't need to verify the frame type field for a few reasons:
First mpdu_validate checks the management frame type, Second the kernel
checks prior to forwarding the event. Because of this the check was
removed completely.

The handshake contains the current BSS's RSNE/WPA which may differ
from the FT-over-DS target. When verifying the target BSS's RSNE/WPA
IE needs to be checked, not the current BSS.
FT-over-DS cannot use OCV due to how the kernel works. This means
we could connect initially with OCVC set, but a FT-over-DS attempt
needs to unset OCVC. Set OCVC false when rebuilding the RSNE for
reassociation.
The FT-over-DS action stage builds an FT-Request which contains an
RSNE. Since FT-over-DS will not support OCV add a boolean to
ft_build_authenticate_ies so the OCVC bit can be disabled rather
than relying on the handshake setting.
This modifies the FT logic to fist call get_oci() before
reassociation. This allows the OCI to be included in reassociation
and in the 4-way handshake later on.
The code path for getting the OCI had to be slightly changed to
handle an OCI that is already set. First the handshake chandef is
NULL'ed out for any new connection. This prevents a stale OCI from
being used. Then some checks were added for this case in
netdev_connect_event and if chandef is already set, start the 4-way
handshake.
handshake_util_ap_ie_matches() is used to make sure that the RSN element
received from the Authenticator during handshake / association response
is the same as the one advertised in Beacon/Probe Response frames. This
utility tries to bitwise compare the element first, and only if that
fails, compares RSN members individually.
For FT, bitwise comparison will always fail since the PMKID has to be
included by the Authenticator in any RSN IEs included in Authenticate
& Association Response frames.
Perform the bitwise comparison as an optimization only during processing
of eapol message 3/4. Also keep the parsed rsn information for future
use and to possibly avoid re-parsing it during later checks.
This is to prepare for multiple concurrent FT-over-DS action frames.
A list will be kept in netdev and for lookup reasons it needs to
parse the start of the frame to grab the aa/spa addresses. In this
call the IEs are also returned and passed to the new
ft_over_ds_parse_action_response.
For now the address checks have been moved into netdev, but this will
eventually turn into a queue lookup.
Prior to this, an error sending the FT Reassociation was treated
as fatal, which is correct for FT-over-Air but not for FT-over-DS.
If the actual l_genl_family_send call fails for FT-over-DS the
existing connection can be maintained and there is no need to
call netdev_connect_failed.
Adding a return to the tx_associate function works for both FT
types. In the FT-over-Air case this return will ultimately get
sent back up to auth_proto_rx_authenticate in which case will
call netdev_connect_failed. For FT-over-DS tx_associate is
actually called from the 'start' operation which can fail and
still maintain the existing connection.
FT-over-DS followed the same pattern as FT-over-Air which worked,
but really limited how the protocol could be used. FT-over-DS is
unique in that we can authenticate to many APs by sending out
FT action frames and parsing the results. Once parsed IWD can
immediately Reassociate, or do so at a later time.
To take advantage of this IWD need to separate FT-over-DS into
two stages: action frame and reassociation.
The initial action frame stage is started by netdev. The target
BSS is sent an FT action frame and a new cache entry is created
in ft.c. Once the response is received the entry is updated
with all the needed data to Reassociate. To limit the record
keeping on netdev each FT-over-DS entry holds a userdata pointer
so netdev doesn't need to maintain its own list of data for
callbacks.
Once the action response is parsed netdev will call back signalling
the action frame sequence was completed (either successfully or not).
At this point the 'normal' FT procedure can start using the
FT-over-DS auth-proto.
FT-over-DS is being separated into two independent stages. The
first of which is the processing of the action frame response.
This new class will hold all the parsed information from the action
frame and allowing it to be retrieved at a later time when IWD
needs to roam.
Initial info class should be created when the action frame is
being sent out. Once a response is received it can be parsed
with ft_over_ds_parse_action_response. This verifies the frame
and updates the ft_ds_info class with the parsed data.
ft_over_ds_prepare_handshake is the final step prior to
Reassociation. This sets all the stored IEs, anonce, and KH IDs
into the handshake and derives the new PTK.
This adds the RSNE verification to ft_parse_ies which will
be common between over-Air and over-DS. The MDE check was
also factored out into its own minimal function as to
retain the spec comment but allow reuse elsewhere.
The building of the FT IEs for Action/Authenticate
frames will need to be shared between ft and netdev
once FT-over-DS is refactored.
The building was refactored to work off the callers
buffer rather than internal stack buffers. An argument
'new_snonce' was included as FT-over-DS will generate
a new snonce for the initial action frame, hence the
handshakes snonce cannot be used.
Break up the rather large code block which parses out IEs,
verifies, and sets into the handshake. FT-over-DS needs these
steps broken up in order to parse the action frame response
without modifying the handshake.
FT over FILS-SHA384 uses a 24 byte FT MIC rather than the 16 byte MIC
used for all other AKMs. This change allows both the FT builder/parser
to handle both lengths of MIC. The mic length is now passed directly
into ie_parse_fast_bss_transition and ie_build_fast_bss_transition
FT-over-DS is a way to do a Fast BSS Transition using action frames for
the authenticate step. This allows a station to start a fast transition
to a target AP while still being connected to the original AP. This,
in theory, can result in less carrier downtime.
The existing ft_sm_new was removed, and two new constructors were added;
one for over-air, and another for over-ds. The internals of ft.c mostly
remain the same. A flag to distinguish between air/ds was added along
with a new parser to parse the action frames rather than authenticate
frames. The IE parsing is identical.
Netdev now just initializes the auth-proto differently depending on if
its doing over-air or over-ds. A new TX authenticate function was added
and used for over-ds. This will send out the IEs from ft.c with an
FT Request action frame.
The FT Response action frame is then recieved from the AP and fed into
the auth-proto state machine. After this point ft-over-ds behaves the
same as ft-over-air (associate to the target AP).
Some simple code was added in station.c to determine if over-air or
over-ds should be used. FT-over-DS can be beneficial in cases where the
AP is directing us to roam, or if the RSSI falls below a threshold.
It should not be used if we have lost communication to the AP all
(beacon lost) as it only works while we can still talk to the original
AP.
Since FT already handles processing the FT IE's (and building for
associate) it didn't make sense to have all the IE building inside
netdev_build_cmd_ft_authenticate. Instead this logic was moved into
ft.c, and an iovec is now passed from FT into
netdev_ft_tx_authenticate. This leaves the netdev command builder
unburdened by the details of FT, as well as prepares for FT-over-DS.
Since FT operates over Authenticate/Associate, it makes the most sense
for it to behave like the other auth-protos.
This change moves all the FT specific processing out of netdev and into
ft.c. The bulk of the changes were strait copy-pastes from netdev into
ft.c with minor API changes (e.g. remove struct netdev).
The 'in_ft' boolean unforunately is still required for a few reasons:
- netdev_disconnect_event relies on this flag so it can ignore the
disconnect which comes in when doing a fast transition. We cannot
simply check netdev->ap because this would cause the other auth-protos
to not handle a disconnect correctly.
- netdev_associate_event needs to correctly setup the eapol_sm when
in FT mode by setting require_handshake and use_eapol_start to false.
This cannot be handled inside eapol by checking the AKM because an AP
may only advertise a FT AKM, and the initial mobility association
does require the 4-way handshake.
Now the 'ft' module, previously ftutil, will be used to drive FT via
the auth-proto virtual class. This renaming is in preparation as
ftutil will become obsolete since all the IE building/processing is
going to be moved out of netdev. The new ft.c module will utilize
the existing ftutil functionality, but since this is now a full blown
auth protocol naming it 'ft' is better suited.
