FILS does not use a MIC in EAPoL frames and also requires encrypted
data on all EAPoL frames. In the common builder the mic_len is now
checked and the flags are set appropriately.
FILS authentication does away with the MIC, so checking for key_mic
in the eapol key frame does not allow FILS to work. Now we pass in
the mic_len to eapol_verify_gtk_1_of_2, and if it is non-zero we can
check that the MIC is present in the frame.
FILS does not require an eapol_sm for authentication, but rekeys
are still performed using the 4-way handshake. Because of this
FILS needs to create a eapol_sm in a 'started' state, but without
calling eapol_start as this will initialize EAP and create handshake
timeouts.
This allows EAPoL to wait for any 4-way packets, and handle them
as rekeys.
ERP (EAP Reauthentication Protocol) allows a station to quickly
reauthenticate using keys from a previous EAP authentication.
This change both implements ERP as well as moves the key cache into
the ERP module.
ERP in its current form is here to only support FILS. ERP is likely not
widespread and there is no easy way to determine if an AP supports ERP
without trying it. Attempting ERP with a non-ERP enabled AP will actually
result in longer connection times since ERP must fail and then full EAP
is done afterwards. For this reason ERP was separated from EAP and a
separate ERP state machine must be created. As it stands now, ERP cannot
be used on its own, only with FILS.
Quick scan uses a set of frequencies associated with the
known networks. This allows to reduce the scan latency.
At this time, the frequency selection follows a very simple
logic by taking all known frequencies from the top 5 most
recently connected networks.
If connection isn't established after the quick scan attempt,
we fall back to the full periodic scan.
Instead of handling NEW_WIPHY events and WIHPY_DUMP events in a similar
fashion, split up the paths to optimize iwd startup time. There's
fundamentally no reason to wait a second (and eat up file-descriptor
resources for timers unnecessarily) when we can simply start an
interface dump right after the wiphy dump.
In case a new wiphy is added in the middle of a wiphy dump, we will
likely get a new wiphy event anyway, in which case a setup_timeout will
be created and we will ignore this phy during the interface dump
processing.
This also optimizes the case of iwd being re-started, in which case
there are no interfaces present.
Separate out the two types of NEW_WIPHY handlers into separate paths and
factor out the common code into a utility function.
Dumps of CMD_NEW_WIPHY can be split up over several messages, while
CMD_NEW_WIPHY events (generated when a new card is plugged in) are
stuffed into a single message.
This also prepares ground for follow-on commits where we will handle the
two types of events differently.

Mirror netdev.c white/blacklist logic. If either or both the whitelist
and the blacklist are given also fall back to not touching the existing
interface setup on the wiphy.
If we get an error during DEL_INTERFACE or NEW_INTERFACE we may be
dealing with a driver that doesn't implement virtual interfaces or
doesn't implement deleting the default interface. In this case fall
back to using the first usable interface that we've detected on this
wiphy.
There's at least one full-mac driver that doesn't implement the cfg80211
.del_virtual_intf and .add_virtual_intf methods and at least one that
only allows P2P interfaces to be manipulated. mac80211 drivers seem to
at least implement those methods but I didn't check to see if there are
driver where they'd eventually return EOPNOTSUPP.
This is probably the trickiest part in this patchset. I'm introducing a
new logic where instead of using the interfaces that we find present
when a wiphy is detected, which would normally be the one default
interface per wiphy but could be 0 or more than one, we create one
ourselves with the socket owner attribute and use exactly one for
Station, AP and Ad-Hoc modes. When IWD starts we delete all the
interfaces on existing wiphys that we're going to use (as determined by
the wiphy white/blacklists) or freshly hotplugged ones, and only then we
register the interface we're going to use meaning that the wiphy's
limits on the number of concurrent interfaces of each type should be at
0. Otherwise we'd be unlikely to be abe to create the station interface
as most adapters only allow one. After that we ignore any interfaces
that may be created by other processes as we have no use for multiple
station interfaces.
At this point manager.c only keeps local state for wiphys during
the interface setup although when we start adding P2P code we will be
creating and removing interfaces multiple times during the wiphy's
runtime and may need to track it here or in wiphy.c. We do not
specifically check the interface number limits received during the wiphy
dump, if we need to create any interfaces and we're over the driver's
maximum for that specific iftype we'll still attempt it and report error
if it fails.
I tested this and it seems to work with my laptop's intel card and some
USB hotplug adapters.
The latest refactoring ended up assuming that FT related elements would
be handled in netdev_associate_event. However, FullMac cards (that do
not generate netdev_associate_event) could still connect using FT AKMs
and perform the Initial mobility association. In such cases the FTE
element was required but ended up not being set into the handshake.
This caused the handshake to fail during PTK 1_of_4 processing.
Fix this by making sure that FTE + related info is set into the
handshake, albeit with a lower sanity checking level since the
elements have been processed by the firmware already.
Note that it is currently impossible for actual FTs to be performed on
FullMac cards, so the extra logic and sanity checking to handle these
can be skipped.
Add functionality to read and parse the known frequencies
from permanent storage on start of the service. On service
shutdown, we sync the known frequencies back to the permanent
storage.
Each known network (previously connected) will have a set
of known frequencies associated with it, e.g. a set of
frequencies from all BSSs observed. The list of known
frequencies is sorted with the most recently observed
frequency in the head.
Previously, the scan results were disregarded once the new
ones were available. To enable the scan scenarios where the
new scan results are delivered in parts, we introduce a
concept of aging BSSs and will remove them based on
retention time.
Add manager.c, a new file where the wiphy and interface creation/removal
will be handled and interface use policies will be implemented. Since
not all kernel-side nl80211 interfaces are tied to kernel-side netdevs,
netdev.c can't manage all of the interfaces that we will be using, so
the logic is being moved to a common place where all interfaces on a
wiphy will be managed according to the policy, device support for things
like P2P and user enabling/disabling/connecting with P2P which require
interfaces to be dynamically added and removed.
Add wiphy_create, wiphy_update_from_genl and wiphy_destroy that together
will let a new file command the wiphy creation, updates and deletion
with the same functionality the current config notification handler
implements in wiphy.c.
As mentioned in code comments the name is NUL-terminated so there's no
need to return the length path, which was ignored in some occasions
anyway. Consistently treat it as NUL-terminated but also validate.
Make netdev_create_from_genl public and change signature to return the
created netdev or NULL. Also add netdev_destroy that destroys and
unregisters the created netdevs. Both will be used to move the
whole interface management to a new file.
Switch the command pattern to match the common command scheme
where the entity name (network name) follows the command family name:
From
known-network forget <network name>
To
known-network <network name> forget
In addition, it extracts the network match by name logic into its
own function for the further reusability. In the case of ambiguity
between the network objects with the same SSID but different security
types the logic asks to specify the security type in addition
to the network name as follows:
known-network <network name.security> forget
