Since iwd_modules_init is now defered until nl80211_appeared, we can
assume the nl80211 object is available. This removes the need for
netdev_set_nl80211 completely.
In preparation for integrating IWD_MODULE into modules which require
nl80211 we move the module init into the nl80211_appeared callback.
This will guarentee that the nl80211 is available during module init
and allow modules to get their own copy of nl80211 rather than needing
a set function (e.g. netdev_set_nl80211).
Since the dbus name request callback happens before this as well any
dbus module can also use IWD_MODULE and simply assume the dbus object
is ready.
plugin_init was also deferred to nl80211_appeared since some plugins
depend on modules being initialized.
Converts agent into an IWD module. This removes the dbus dependency
on agent. Since dbus is initialized very early we can assume
dbus_get_bus is going to return a valid object.
Previously, station state 'connected' used to identify an interface associated
with AP. With the introduction of netconfig, an interface is assumed to be
connected after the IP addresses have been assigned to it. If netconfig is
disabled, the behavior remains unchanged.
Refactoring was required to allow for embedded certs. The existing
eap_tls_state object was changed to hold the cert types (l_queue,
l_certchain, l_key) rather than the file path, since there may not
actually be separate PEM files.
Care was taken to properly manage the memory of these objects.
Since the TLS object takes ownership when setting auth data or the
CA certs all error cases must be handled properly to free these
objects after they are loaded and in addition they must be set to
NULL so that the cleanup doesn't double free them.
If everything goes to plan, we load all the PEMs in settings_load,
provide these objects to the TLS APIs, and then NULL out the
pointers (TLS now owns this memory). If anything fails between
settings_load and l_tls_start we must free these objects.
A special format must be used to indicate that a PEM is embedded
inside the settings file. First, the l_settings format should be
followed for the PEM itself, e.g.
[@pem@my_ca_cert]
<CA Cert data>
This PEM can then be referenced by "embed:my_ca_cert", e.g.
EAP-TLS-CACert=embed:my_ca_cert
Any other value not starting with "embed:" will be treated as a file
path.
The IPv6 default route needs to be explicitly revoked. Unlike in IPv4,
there is no SRC address associated with the route and it will not be
removed on address removal.
The network configuration options for IPv6 are grouped under [IPv6]
and include the following:
ip= ADDRESS/PREFIX
gateway=ADDRESS
dns=ADDRESS
The placeholders for DHCPv6 are placed along the way and marked
as TODO items.
Previously, netconfig_ipv4_select_and_install was used to install
addresses on initial connection to a network and after we have roamed.
Now for the after roaming connection scenario we have
netconfig_reconfigure. Remove roaming related code from
netconfig_ipv4_select_and_install
As part of the de-coupling from station object, switch all of
the network settings inquiries to use active_settings. active_settings
are set with netconfig_configure by the owner of netconfig object
and removed with netconfig_reset once network disconnects.
Instead of relying on station state changed signal, netconfig
introduces three new API calls to configure, re-configure and
reset the network configurations. The owner of netconfig object
is responsible for initiating the re-configuration of the device
depending on its state.
As a first step to enable the usage of netconfig in ead and
prospective transition to be a part of ell, the public API for
creation and destruction of the netconfig objects has been
renamed and changed. Instead of hiding the netconfig objects inside
of netconfig module, the object is now passed back to the caller.
The internal queue of netconfig objects remains untouched, due
to limitations in ell’s implementation of rtnl. After the proper
changes are done to ell, netconfig_list is expected to be removed
from netconfig module.
