Save the value of the watchlist pointer at the beginning of the
WATCHLIST_NOTIFY_* macros as if it was a function. This will fix a
frame-xchg.c scenario in which one of the watch callback removes the
frame watch group and the memory where the watchlist pointer was
becomes unallocated but the macro still needs to access it ones or
twice while it destroys the watchlist. Another option would be for
the pointer to be copied in frame-xchg.c itself.
Use netconfig.c functions to unconditionally run DHCP negotiation,
fail the connection setup if DHCP fails. Only report connection success
after netconfig returns.
Add the final two steps of the connection setup, and corresponding
disconnect logic:
* the WSC connection to the GO to do the client provisioning,
* the netdev_connect call to use the provisioned credentials for the
final WPA2 connection.
Once we've found the provisioning BSS create the P2P-Client interface
that we're going to use for the actual provisioning and the final P2P
connection.
Some devices (a Wi-Fi Display dongle in my case) will send us Probe
Requests and wait for a response before they send us the GO
Negotiation Request that we're waiting for after the peer initially
replied with "Fail: Information Not Available" to our GO Negotiation
attempt. Curiously this specific device I tested would even accept
a Probe Response with a mangled body such that the IE sequence couldn't
be parsed.
Handle the scenario where the peer's P2P state machine doesn't know
whether a connection has been authorized by the user and needs some time
to ask the user or a higher software layer whether to accept a
connection. In that case their GO Negotiation Response to our GO
Negotiation Request will have the status code "Fail: Information Not
Available" and we need to give the peer 120s to start a new GO
Negotiation with us. In this patch we handle the GO Negotiation
responder side where we parse the Request frame, build and send the
Response and finally parse the Confirmation. The existing code so far
only did the initiator side.
Parse the GO Negotiation Response frame and if no errors found send the
GO Negotiation Confirmation. If that gets ACKed wait for the GO to set
up the group.
Add net.connman.iwd.SimpleConfiguration interfaces to peer objects on
DBus and handle method calls. Building and transmitting the actual
action frames to start the connection sequence is done in the following
commits.
Add some of the Device Discovery logic and the DBus API. Device
Discovery is documented as having three states: the Scan Phase, the Find
Phase and the Listen State.
This patch adds the Scan Phase and the next patch adds the Listen State,
which will happen sequentially in a loop until discovery is stopped.
The Find Phase, which is documented as happening at the beginning of the
Discovery Phase, is incorporated into the Scan Phases. The difference
between the two is that Find Phase scans all of the supported channels
while the Scan Phase only scans the three "social" channels. In
practical terms the Find Phase would discover existing groups, which may
operate on any channel, while the Scan Phase will only discover P2P
Devices -- peers that are not in a group yet. To cover existing groups,
we add a few "non-social" channels to each of our active scans
implementing the Scan Phases.
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().
Implement the Enabled property on device interface. The P2P device is
currently disabled on startup but automatically enabling the P2P device
can be considered.

For PSK networks we have netdev.c taking care of setting the linkmode &
operstate. For open adhoc networks, netdev.c was never involved which
resulted in linkmode & operstate never being set. Fix this by invoking
the necessary magic when a connection is established.
adhoc_reset() destroys ssid and sta_states but leaves the pointers
around, athough the adhoc_state structure is not always freed.
This causes a segfault when exiting iwd after a client has done
adhoc start and adhoc stop on a device since adhoc_reset() is called
from adhoc_sta_free although it was previously called from
adhoc_leave_cb().
The netdev_leave_adhoc() returns a negative errno on errors and zero
on success, but adhoc_dbus_stop() assumed the inverse when checking for
an error.
Also, the DBus message was not being referenced in adhoc->pending and
then adhoc_leave_cb() segfaulted attempting to dereference it.
It seems some APs send the IGTK key in big endian format (it is a
uin16). The kernel rightly reports an -EINVAL error when iwd issues a
NEW_KEY with such a value, resulting in the connection being aborted.
Work around this by trying to detect big-endian key indexes and 'fixing'
them up.
This bug has been in here since OWE was written, but a similar bug also
existed in hostapd which allowed the PTK derivation to be identical.
In January 2020 hostapd fixed this bug, which now makes IWD incompatible
when using group 20 or 21.
This patch fixes the bug for IWD, so now OWE should be compatible with
recent hostapd version. This will break compatibility with old hostapd
versions which still have this bug.
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 function was intended to catch socket errors and destroy the group
but it would leak the l_io object if that happened, and if called on
ordinary shutdown it could cause a crash. Since we're now assuming
that the netlink socket operations never fail just remove it.
Only add constants for parsing the Device Information subelement as that
is the main thing we care about in P2P code. And since our own WFD IEs
will likely only need to contain the Device Information subelement, we
don't need builder utilities. We do need iterator utilities because we
may receive WFD IEs with more subelements.
In some cases a P2P peer will ACK our frame but not reply on the first
attempt, and other implementations seem to handle this by going back to
retransmitting the frame at a high rate until it gets ACKed again, at
which point they will again give the peer a longer time to tx the
response frame. Implement the same logic here by adding a
retries_on_ack parameter that takes the number of additional times we
want to restart the normal retransmit counter after we received no
response frame on the first attempt. So passing 0 maintains the
current behaviour, 1 for 1 extra attempt, etc.
In effect we may retransmit a frame about 15 * (retry_on_ack + 1) *
<in-kernel retransmit limit> times. The kernel/driver retransmits a
frame a number of times if there's no ACK (I've seen about 20 normally)
at a high frequency, if that fails we retry the whole process 15 times
inside frame-xchg.c and if we still get no ACK at any point, we give up.
If we do get an ACK, we wait for a response frame and if we don't get
that we will optionally reset the retry counter and restart the whole
thing retry_on_ack times.
In order to support AlwaysRandomizeAddress and AddressOverride, station will
set the desired address into the handshake object. Then, netdev checks if
this was done and will use that address rather than generate one.
This patch adds two new options to a network provisioning file:
AlwaysRandomizeAddress={true,false}
If true, IWD will randomize the MAC address on each connection to this
network. The address does not persists between connections, any new
connection will result in a different MAC.
AddressOverride=<MAC>
If set, the MAC address will be set to <MAC> assuming its a valid MAC
address.
These two options should not be used together, and will only take effect
if [General].AddressRandomization is set to 'network' in the IWD
config file.
If neither of these options are set, and [General].AddressRandomization
is set to 'network', the default behavior remains the same; the MAC
will be generated deterministically on a per-network basis.
Since frame_watch_remove_by_handler only forgets a given function +
user data pointers, and doesn't remove the frame prefixes added in the
kernel, we can avoid later re-registering those prefixes with the
kernel by keeping them in our local watchlist, and only replacing the
handler pointer with a dummy function.
If during WATCHLIST_NOTIFY{,_MATCHES,_NO_ARGS} one of the watch
notify callback triggers a call to watchlist_destroy, give up calling
remaining watches and destroy the watchlist without crashing. This is
useful in frame-xchg.c (P2P use case) where a frame watch may trigger
a move to a new state after receiving a specific frame, and remove one
group of frame watches (including its watchlist) to create a different
group.
For privacy reasons its advantageous to randomize or mask
the MAC address when connecting to networks, especially public
networks.
This patch allows netdev to generate a new MAC address on a
per-network basis. The generated MAC will remain the same when
connecting to the same network. This allows reauthentications
or roaming to work, and not have to fully re-connect (which would
be required if the MAC changed on every connection).
Changing the MAC requires bringing the interface down. This does
lead to potential race conditions with respect to external
processes. There are two potential conditions which are explained
in a TODO comment in this patch.
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.
Make sure a frame callback is free to call frame_xchg_stop without
causing a crash. Frame callback here means the one that gets
called if our tx frame was ACKed and triggered a respone frame that
matched one of the provided prefixes, within the given time.
All in all a frame callback is allowed to call either
frame_xchg_stop or frame_xchg_startv or neither. Same applies to
the final callback (called when no matching responses received).
Don't crash if the user calls frame_xchg_stop(wdev) from inside the
frame exchange's final callback. That call is going to be redundant but
it's convenient to do this inside a cleanup function for a given wdev
without having to check whether any frame exchange was actually running.
This API was updated to take an extra boolean which will
automatically power up the device while changing the MAC
address. Since this is what IWD does anyways we can avoid
the need for an intermediate callback and go right into
netdev_initial_up_cb.
iwd would fail to connect using EAP-TLS when no CA certificate was
provided as it checked for successful loading of the CA certificate
instead of the client certificate when attempting to load the client
certificate.
The password for EAP-GTC is directly used in an EAP response. The
response buffer is created on the stack so an overly large password
could cause a stack overflow.
mac80211 drivers seem to send the disconnect event which is triggered by
CMD_DISCONNECT prior to the CMD_DISCONNECT response. However, some
drivers, namely brcmfmac, send the response first and then send the
disconnect event. This confused iwd when a connection was immediately
triggered after a disconnection (network switch operation).
Fix this by making sure that connected variable isn't set until the
connect event is actually processed, and ignore disconnect events which
come after CMD_DISCONNECT has alredy succeeded.
For nl80211 sockets other than our main l_genl object use socket io
directly, to avoid creating many instances of l_genl. The only reason
we use multiple sockets is to work around an nl80211 design quirk that
requires closing the socket to unregister management frame watches.
Normally there should not be a need to create multiple sockets in a
program.
Add a little state machine and a related API, to simplify sending out a
frame, receiving the Ack / No-ack status and (if acked) waiting for a
response frame from the target device, one of a list of possible
frame prefixes. The nl80211 API for this makes it complicated
enough that this new API seems to be justified, on top of that there's a
quirk when using the brcmfmac driver where the nl80211 response
(containing the operation's cookie), the Tx Status event and the response
Frame event are received from nl80211 in reverse order (not seen with
other drivers so far), further complicating what should be a pretty
simple task.
Try to better deduplicate the frame watches. Until now we'd check if
we'd already registered a given frame body prefix with the kernel, or a
matching more general prefix (shorter). Now also try to check if we
have already have a watch with the same callback pointer and user_data
value, and:
* an identical or shorter (more general) prefix, in that case ignore
the new watch completely.
* a longer (more specific) prefix, in that case forget the existing
watch.
The use case for this is when we have a single callback for multiple
watches and multiple frame types, and inside that callback we're looking
at the frame body again and matching it to frame types. In that case
we don't want that function to be called multiple times for one frame
event.
In frame_watch_group_remove I forgot to actually match the group to be
removed by both wdev_id and group_id. group_ids are unique only in the
scope of one wdev.
I forgot to actually add new groups being created in
frame_watch_group_get to the watch_groups queue, meaning that we'd
re-create the group every time a new watch was added to the group.
Processing the duplicated TLVs while connecting to a malicious AP may lead
to overflow of the response buffer. This patch ensures that the
duplicated TLVs are not parsed.
The pending wiphy state 'use_default' variable was not set early enough
in some circumstances resulting in weird behavior for blacklisted
drivers. Fix this by adding a manager_wiphy_dump_done callback which
will properly initialize the use_default value.
Fixes: c4b2f10483 ("manager: Handle missing NEW_WIPHY events")
brcmfmac does not allow the removal of the default / primary interface.
So there isn't much point in having iwd attempt this.
Another issue is that brcmfmac _does_ allow the deletion of non-default
interfaces. So starting iwd on a system with a station & ap interface
active can result in iwd attempting to delete all the interfaces. Given
the above, it succeeds in deleting the ap interface but not the station
one. In strange circumstances it might end up thinking that the ap
interface is the 'default' and trying to use it, whereas it was just
successfully removed.

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.
For the inner EAP methods that support generation of the key material
include it into imck generation. This allows to cryptographically
bind the inner method with the tunnel.
Windows Server 2008 - Network Policy Server (NPS) generates an invalid
Compound MAC for Cryptobinding TLV when is used within PEAPv0 due to
incorrect parsing of the message containing TLS Client Hello.
Setting L bit and including TLS Message Length field, even for the
packets that do not require fragmentation, corrects the issue. The
redundant TLS Message Length field in unfragmented packets doesn't
seem to affect the other server implementations.
Sometimes, at least with brcmfmac, the default interface apparently
takes a moment to get created after the NEW_WIPHY event. We didn't
really consider this case in the NEW_WIPHY handler and we've got a race
condition. It fixes the following bug for me:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/63912 -- tested by removing and
re-modprobing the brcmfmac module rather than rebooting.
To work around this wait for the NEW_INTERFACE event and then retry the
setup. We still do the initial attempt directly after NEW_WIPHY to
handle cases like wiphys with no default interfaces and pre-existing
wiphys.
We track mtime as the 'LastConnectedTime' of the network, and also sort
the known network list according to the last connected time.
Unfortunately we were never reacting to ATTRIB changes, and so were
never updating the network_info->connected_time whenever a network was
connected to.
Rework the logic to address this. This also fixes a small bug where the
connected_time was not set properly prior to removal / re-insertion of
the network_info.
We use the mtime on the network profile as the 'Last Connected Time'.
When we update any property and sync the file to disk, the mtime was not
preserved (since we were creating a new temporary file instead of
modifying the old one). This led to LastConnectedTime property change
being emitted / updated incorrectly when a writable property on the
KnownNetwork interface was updated.
Our design preference is to not call any callbacks in the _free/_destroy
method of a class (with the exception of explicit destroy callbacks
provided, if any).
Invoking the callback in this case was unnecessary: wsc_dbus_free was
already replying to pending connect / cancel messages. The only other
thing the callback would attempt to do is to set station back into
autoconnect mode. This was unnecessary as well since the netdev is
already down.
This change removes the callback invocation. Since wsc_enrollee_destroy
is now just calling wsc_enrollee_free, remove this from the API and
expose wsc_enrollee_free instead.
Split the WSC D-Bus interface class (struct wsc) into a base class
common to station mode and P2P mode (struct wsc_dbus) and station-
specific logic like scanning, saving the credentials as a known network
and triggering the station-mode connection (struct wsc_station_dbus).
Make the base class and its utilities public in wsc.h for P2P use.
Create struct wsc_enrollee which is allocated with wsc_enrollee_new,
taking a done callback as a parameter. The callback is always
called so there's no need for a separate destroy callback. The object
only lives until the done callback happens so wsc_enrollee_cancel/destroy
can only be used before this.
Looks like the rest of the file is simplified thanks to this.
This new API is independent of netdev.c and allows actually
unregistering from receiving notifications of frames, although with some
quirks. The current API only allowed the callback for a registration to
be forgotten but our process and/or the kernel would still be woken up
when matching frames were received because the kernel had no frame
unregister call. In the new API you can supply a group-id paramter when
registering frames. If it is non-zero the frame_watch_group_remove() call
can be used to remove all frame registrations that had a given group-id
by closing the netlink socket on which the notifications would be
received. This means though that it's a slightly costly operation.
The file is named frame-xchg.c because I'm thinking of also adding
utilities for sending frames and waiting for one of a number of replies
and handling the acked/un-acked information.
Instead of taking the credentials from wsc object directly, have the
caller pass these in. This makes it more consistent with how the
done_cb was done.
Split the interface-specific logic from the core WSC logic. The core
WSC code is the part that we can re-use between P2P and station and
doesn't include the D-Bus code, scanning for the target BSS or the
attempt to make a station mode connection.
Allow netdev_create_from_genl callers to draw a random or non-random MAC
and pass it in the parameter instead of a bool to tell us to generating
the MAC locally. In P2P we are generating the MAC some time before
creating the netdev in order to pass it to the peer during negotiation.
Some server implementation don't seem to provide the valid compound MACs.
In the meantime, iwd will ignore the invalid Crypto-Binding TLVs as their
usage is optional.
The intent was to check for the presence of the add_domain_name
operation, not add_dns operation.
Fixes: 930528e35e ("resolve: Add systemd-resolved domain name installer")
It seems that the kernel uses -EOPNOTSUPP if the change_station
operation is not implemented by the driver. However, some drivers do
implement change_station and choose to report -ENOTSUPP instead of
-EOPNOTSUPP.
To add to the confusion, EOPNOTSUPP and -ENOTSUPP are the same on some
systems (e.g. Gentoo). Be paranoid and allow both errors to be ignored
when sending CMD_SET_STATION.
Fixes: 0238ffb8d9 ("netdev: Use -EOPNOTSUPP instead of -ENOTSUPP")
The first if case should be -10950, not 10950. Without the negative
this first case would get hit every time since signal strength values
are always negative.
The Crypto Binding TLV is used to ensure that the EAP peer and the
EAP server participated in both the inner and the outer EAP
authentications of a PEAP authentication by cryptographically associating
the phase 1 and phase 2 authentications.
The usage of Crypto-Binding in PEAPv0 is optional and is triggered by
the reception of the Crypto-Binding TLV from the server.
The handler for EAP Extensions has been modified to support multiple
TLV types instead of the single Result TLV. This will allow to handle
the other TLVs such as Crypto-Binding TLV.
There are some server implementations that send requests that are
not "Password" but still want us send password. This commit modify
the behavior to send a warning and still try to auth with password.
This makes me able to auth with server in my school which sends
"Enter Aruba Login".
wpa_supplicant does not check if it is "Password".
The kernel uses -EOPNOTSUPP in the case of change_station operation not
being provided. On most systems -EOPNOTSUPP is defined to be the same
as -ENOTSUPP, but seemingly not all systems.
Previously, the key was installed once the tunnel was created
despite the outcome of the second authentication phase. Now, the
key installation is delayed until the successful completion of
the second authentication phase. This excludes the unnecessary
operations in the case of a failure and key reinstallation with
cypro-binding in use.
Commit 1057d8aa74 changed the device interface creation logic
from being unconditional inside netdev.c to instead use NETDEV_WATCH_*
events. However, this broke the assumption that the device interface
was created before all others. The effect is that the scan_wdev_add
might no longer be called prior to station interface being created. Fix
this by moving scan_wdev_add/remove calls to netdev.c instead.

Save the source frame type in struct scan_bss as it may affect how some
of the data in the struct will be parsed. Also replace the P2P IE
payload data in that struct with a union containing pre-parsed p2p
attributes corresponding to the frame type.
This means users don't have to call the parsers in p2putil.c on that
data, which wouldn't have worked anyway because those parsers assume
input is the raw IE sequence rather than just the "payload".
All these functions free up the resources used by the struct but don't
free the struct itself (allowing it to be static) so rename the
functions to avoid confusion.
The kernel sends NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_START_TIME_TSF with CMD_TRIGGER and
RRM requires this value for beacon measurement reports.
The start time is parsed during CMD_TRIGGER and set into the scan request.
A getter was added to obtain this time value for an already triggered
scan.
After making the change, the SCAN_ABORTED case was cleaned up a bit to
remove the local scan_request usage in favor of the one used for all the
other cases.
Create and destroy the device state struct and the DBus interfaces in a
way more similar to the Station, AdHoc and AP interfaces. Drop
netdev_get_device() and the device specific code in netdev that as far
as I can tell wasn't needed.
Check the iftype before registering ANQP on new interface.
Not that the check here and in rrm.c (which already checks the iftype)
may need to be extended to run on NETDEV_WATCH_EVENT_UP because a device
could be created with a different iftype and then have the iftype changed
before powering up.
The RCPI value was using floating point values as per the spec. But instead
we can just use the signal strength coming from the kernel in mili mdm and
scale the hard coded values by a factor of 100.
Beacon requests can specify a scan duration, and set a flag which makes
this duration mandatory. The kernel supports both these values for scan
requests so we no longer need to reject requests which contain these.
Drivers which do not support EXT_FEATURE_SET_SCAN_DWELL will ignore the
duration value, but if duration mandatory is set we must reject the
request.
The kernel allows a scan duration and duration mandatory flag to be
set in scan requests. RRM requests can contain these values so they
have been added to scan_parameters.
Scanning with drivers which do not support EXT_FEATURE_SET_SCAN_DWELL
will not include these values in scan requests.
If a scan is requested during the middle of a connection we should
return busy instead of attempting the scan. The kernel ends up coming
back with not supported in this case, which is misleading and
difficult to debug.
The module framework was changed to call the module exit functions in
the reverse order as the init functions. This uncovered/caused known
networks to try and free the network_info structures after hotspot had
already freed them. Since known networks clean up the network_info's
anyways, we don't actually need hotspot to do any cleanup.
Apparently the intention was for the dependent module's name to appear
in the variable name resulting from using IWD_MODULE_DEPENDS, so the
dependencies all have unique names (apparently not critical).
Despite that PEAPv0 spec indicates that TLS tunnel needs to be torn
down after the transmission of a secure Result response, some servers
treat this TLS close alert as a failure. This patch changes the above
behavior to explicitly torn the tunnel only in the case of
authentication failure and leave it open after the success.
The previous refactoring somehow changed the 'Settings' section name
into 'General'
Fixes: ac53239109 ("doc: Split network configuration description into separate manpage")
This module takes care of radio measurements which an AP can request.
There are many types of requests, and for now only beacon requests
are supported.
IWD will filter certain types of beacon requests that are NOT
supported:
- AP channel reports. Only single channel requests will be supported
- Autonomous measurements. Only direct requests will be supported.
IWD will not accept requets to trigger reports under certain
conditions (SNR/RSSI thresholds, etc.)
- Timed measurements. Only immediate measurements will be performed.
The accuracy for timed measurements cannot be reliably guaranteed
due to kernel scheduling/queues.
- Full reporting detail. The AP can request the STA return the full
set of IEs in a beacon. IWD does not currently save all IEs, plus
there is quite a bit of complexity involved as certain IEs get
truncated, and there are other length limitations.
There are other limitations not specific to beacon requests:
- IWD will support single measurement requests per report. Multiple
measurement request IEs can be included, but the reports will be
sent out separately.
- IWD will limit the number of requests it responds to in a given
amount of time. As it stands now this is hard coded to 2 requests
per second maximum. This will prevent DoS attacks.
- IWD will not accept any measurement requests from APs it is not
connected to, and will not accept any requests until connected.
For Radio Resource Management (RRM) we will need access to the currently
connected BSS as well as the last scan results in order to do certain
kinds of requested measurements.
