Right now hwsim blindly tries to forward broadcast/multicast frames to
all interfaces it knows about and relies on the kernel to reject the
forwarding attempt if the frequency does not match. This results in
multiple copies of the same message being added to the genl transmit
queue.
On slower systems this can cause a run-away memory consumption effect
where the queued messages are not processed in time prior to a new
message being received for forwarding. The likelyhood of this effect
manifesting itself is directly related to the number of hostapd
instances that are created and are beaconing simultaneously.
Try to optimize frame forwarding by not sending beacon frames
to those interfaces that are in AP mode (i.e. pure hostapd instances)
since such interfaces are going to be operating on a different frequency
and would not be interested in processing beacon frames anyway.
This optimization cuts down peak memory use during certain tests by 30x
or more (~33mb to ~1mb) when profiled with 'valgrind --tool=massif'

Passing the full argument list to StationDebug was removed
because any existing properties (for Device) were being
included and causing incorrect behavior.
This neglected to handle namespaces which should also be
passed to StationDebug. Unfortunately the arguments are not
named when Device() is initialized so they cannot easily be
sorted. Instead just define Device() arguments to match the
DBus abstraction and pass only the path and namespace to
StationDebug
Two commands were added:
dpp <iface> start-enrollee
dpp <iface> start-configurator
dpp <iface> stop
In addition there is support for using the qrencode utility for displaying
the QR code after DPP is started (enrollee or configurator. If qrencode is
found on the system the QR code will be displayed. Otherwise only the URI
will be printed to the console.
This implements a configurator in the responder role. Currently
configuring an enrollee is limited to only the connected network.
This is to avoid the need to go offchannel for any reason. But
because of this a roam, channel switch, or disconnect will cause
the configuration to fail as none of the frames are being sent
offchannel.
Added both enrollee and configurator roles, as well as the needed
logic inside the authentication protocol to verify role compatibility.
The dpp_sm's role will now be used when setting capability bits making
the auth protocol agnostic to enrollees or configurators.
This also allows the card to re-issue ROC if it ends in the middle of
authenticating or configuring as well as add a maximum timeout for
auth/config protocols.
IO errors were also handled as these sometimes can happen with
certain drivers but are not fatal.
Allows creating a new configuration object based on settings, ssid,
and akm suite (for configurator role) as well as converting a
configuration object to JSON.
Rather than hard coding ad0, use the actual frame data. There really
isn't a reason this would differ (only status attribute) but just
in case its better to use the frame data directly.
This is a minimal implementation only supporting legacy network
configuration, i.e. only SSID and PSK/passphrase are supported.
Missing features include:
- Fragmentation/comeback delay support
- DPP AKM support
- 8021x/PKEX support
This implements the DPP protocol used to authenticate to a
DPP configurator.
Note this is not a full implementation of the protocol and
there are a few missing features which will be added as
needed:
- Mutual authentication (needed for BLE bootstrapping)
- Configurator support
- Initiator role
The presence procedure implemented is a far cry from what the spec
actually wants. There are two reason for this: a) the kernels offchannel
support is not at a level where it will work without rather annoying
work arounds, and b) doing the procedure outlined in the spec will
result in terrible discovery performance.
Because of this a simpler single channel announcement is done by default
and the full presence procedure is left out until/if it is needed.
This is a minimal wrapper around jsmn.h to make things a bit easier
for iterating through a JSON object.
To use, first parse the JSON and create a contents object using
json_contents_new(). This object can then be used to initialize a
json_iter object using json_iter_init().
The json_iter object can then be parsed with json_iter_parse by
passing in JSON_MANDATORY/JSON_OPTIONAL arguments. Currently only
JSON_STRING and JSON_OBJECT types are supported. Any JSON_MANDATORY
values that are not found will result in an error.
If a JSON_OPTIONAL string is not found, the pointer will be NULL.
If a JSON_OPTIONAL object is not found, this iterator will be
initialized but 'start' will be -1. This can be checked with a
convenience macro json_object_not_found();
Static analysis was not happy since this return can be negative and
it was being fed into an unsigned argument. In reality this cannot
happen since the key buffer is always set to the maximum size supported
by any curves.
