The slaac_test was one that would occationally fail, but very rarely,
due to the resolvconf log values appearing in an unexpected order.
This appears to be related to a typo in netconfig-commit which would
not set netconfig-domains and instead set dns_list. This was fixed
with a pending patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/iwd/20240227204242.1509980-1-denkenz@gmail.com/T/#u
But applying this now leads to testNetconfig failing slaac_test
100% of the time.
I'm not familiar enough with resolveconf to know if this test change
is ok, but based on the test behavior the expected log and disk logs
are the same, just in the incorrect order. I'm not sure if this the
log order is deterministic so instead the check now iterates the
expected log and verifies each value appears once in the resolvconf
log.
Here is an example of the expected vs disk logs after running the
test:
Expected:
-a wlan1.dns
nameserver 192.168.1.2
nameserver 3ffe:501:ffff💯:10
nameserver 3ffe:501:ffff💯:50
-a wlan1.domain
search test1
search test2
Resolvconf log:
-a wlan1.domain
search test1
search test2
-a wlan1.dns
nameserver 192.168.1.2
nameserver 3ffe:501:ffff💯:10
nameserver 3ffe:501:ffff💯:50
The parsing code was breaking out of the loop on the first comment
which is incorrect and causes only part of the file to be parsed.
Its odd this hasn't popped up until now but its likely due to
differing dhcpd versions, some which add comments and others that
do not.
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.
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.
Test that the DHCPv4 lease got renewed after the T1 timer runs out.
Then also simulate the DHCPREQUEST during renew being lost and
retransmitted and the lease eventually getting renewed T1 + 60s later.
The main downside is that this test will inevitably take a while if
running in Qemu without the time travel ability.
Update the test and some utility code to run hostapd in an isolated net
namespace for connection_test.py. We now need a second hostapd
instance though because in static_test.py we test ACD and we need to
produce an IP conflict. Moving the hostapd instance unexpectedly fixes
dhcpd's internal mechanism to avoid IP conflicts and it would no longer
assign 192.168.1.10 to the second client, it'd notice that address was
already in use and assign the next free address, or fail if there was
none. So add a second hostapd instance that runs in the main namespace
together with the statically-configured client, it turns out the test
relies on the kernel being unable to deliver IP traffic to interfaces on
the same system.
Add a fake resolvconf executable to verify that the right nameserver
addresses were actually committed by iwd. Again use unique nameserver
addresses to reduce the possibility that the test succeeds by pure luck.
In static_test.py add IPv6. Add comments on what we're actually testing
since it wasn't very clear. After the expected ACD conflict detection,
succeed if either the lost address was removed or the client disconnected
from the AP since this seems like a correct action for netconfig to
implement.
In iwd.py make sure all the static methods that touch IWD storage take the
storage_dir parameter instead of hardcoding IWD_STORAGE_DIR, and make
sure that parameter is actually used.
Create the directory if it doesn't exist before copying files into it.
This fixes a problem in testNetconfig where
`IWD.copy_to_storage('ssidTKIP.psk', '/tmp/storage')`
would result in /tmp/storage being created as a file, rather than a
directory containing a file, and resulting in IWD failing to start with:
`Failed to create /tmp/storage`
runner.py creates /tmp/iwd but that doesn't account for IWD sessions
with a custom storage dir path.
Extend test_ip_address_match to support IPv6 and to test the
netmask/prefix length while it reads the local address since those are
retrieved using the same API.
Modify testNetconfig to validate the prefix lengths, change the prefix
lengths to be less common values (not 24 bits for IPv4 or 64 for IPv6),
minor cleanup.
- Setting the IP address was resulting in an error:
Error: any valid prefix is expected rather than "wln58".
This is fixed by reordering the arguments with the IP address first
- Remove the sleep, and use non_block_wait to wait for the IPv6 address
to be set.
All tests which could avoid calling scan() directly have been
changed to use the 'full_scan' argument to get_ordered_network.
This was done because of unreliable scanning behavior on slower
systems, like VMs. If we get unlucky with the scheduler some beacons
are not received in time and in turn scan results are missing.
Using full_scan=True works around this issue by repeatedly scanning
until the SSID is found.
On some systems the default radvd pid file location is not accessible.
Specify it to be under /tmp instead.
While there, enable full radvd debug output so it is logged when
test-runner is invoked with the --log option.
This changes all tests to use the default get_ordered_network behavior
rather than some custom or incorrect logic. Any use of
scan_if_needed=True has been removed since this is now the default.
Also any explicit scanning has been removed for tests which do not
require it (where the default behavior is good enough).
With the addition of connect_bssid/roam very few tests actually
require hwsim. Since hwsim can lead to problems with scan results
its best to have it off by default and have each test that needs
it explicitly turn it on.
Tests which previously turned it off have had that option removed.
Tests that do require hwsim still are vulnerable to scan result
problems, so for these tests beacon_int was added to the hostapd
config which seems to help with reliability somewhat.
This file was not included when testNetconfig was introduced
and is required. My system was working fine as it was in my
local tree but has been missing and not passing for others.
After the test-runner re-write many tests were left with
stale options that are no longer used at all. These were
periodically getting removed as changes were made to
individual tests, but its apparent now that a tree wide
removal was needed.
Tests netconfig with a static configuration, as well as tests ACD
functionality.
The test has two IWD radios which will eventually use the same IP.
One is configured statically, one will receive the IP via DHCP.
The static client sets its IP first and begins using it. Then the
DHCP client is started. Since ACD in a DHCP client is configured
to use its address indefinitely, the static client *should* give
up its address.
If running multiple tests testNetconfig would fail due to the
hardcoded wln0 in the dhcpd.conf file. dhcpd can actually start
by passing in the interface to the run command rather than
inside the config file.
The interface was hard coded to wln0 which works when running single
tests but not when running multiple. Instead use the actual ifname
that hostapd is using.
Tests that DHCP using IWD's internal netconfig functions properly.
The actual IP address assignment is not verified, but since IWD does
not signal the connection as successful unless DHCP succeeds we
can assume it was successful by checking that the device is connected.
The process of actually starting dhcpd and configuring the interfaces
is quite simple so it was left in the autotest itself. If (or when)
more tests require IP capabilities (p2p, FILS, etc) this could be
moved into test-runner itself and be made common. The reason I did not
put it in there now is a) because this is the only test and b) more
complex DHCP cases are likely to develop and may require more than this
simplistic setup (like multiple APs/interfaces)
