Restarting hostapd from python was actually leaking memory and
causing the hostapd object to stay referenced in python. The
GLib timeout in wait_for_event was the ultimate cause, but this
had no come to light because no tests restarted hostapd then
used wait_for_event.
In addition, any use of wait_for_event after a restart would
cause an exception because the event socket was never re-attached
after hostapd restarted.
Now we properly clean up the timeout in wait_for_event and
re-initialize the hostapd object on restart.
There is a very common block of code inside many autotests
which goes something like:
device.scan()
condition = 'obj.scanning'
wd.wait_for_object_condition(device, condition)
condition = 'not obj.scanning'
wd.wait_for_object_condition(device, condition)
network = device.get_ordered_network('an-ssid')
When you see the same pattern in nearly all the tests this shows
we need a helper. Basic autotests which merely check that a
connection succeeded should not need to write the same code again
and again. This code ends up being copy-pasted which can lead to
bugs.
There is also a code pattern which attempts to get ordered
networks, and if this fails it scans and tries again. This, while
not optimal, does prevent unneeded scanning by first checking if
any networks already exist.
This patch solves both the code reuse issue as well as the recovery
if get_ordered_network(s) fails. A new optional parameter was
added to get_ordered_network(s) which is False by default. If True
get_ordered_network(s) will perform a scan if the initial call
yields no networks. Tests will now be able to simply call
get_ordered_network(s) without performing a scan before hand.
Hostapd has a feature where you can connect to its control socket and
receive events it generates. Currently we only send commands via this
socket.
First we open the socket (/var/run/hostapd/<iface>) and send the
ATTACH command. This tells hostapd we are ready and after this any
events will be sent over this socket.
A new API, wait_for_event, was added which takes an event string and
waits for some timeout. The glib event loop has been integrated into
this, though its not technically async since we are selecting over a
socket which blocks. To mitigate this a small timeout was chosen for
each select call and then wrapped in a while loop which waits for the
full timeout.
If no networks are found, return None rather than an empty
array. This is easier to check by the caller (and was assumed
in some cases). Also add an exception to get_ordered_network
if no network is found.
If the config file passed in is not found we would continue and
eventually something else would fail. Instead immediately raise an
exception to be more clear on what is actually failing.
Initially the solution to copying files to .hotspot was to use the
existing copy_to_storage, but allow full directory copying. Doing it
this way does not allow us to copy single files into .hotspot which
makes it difficult to test single configurations in several consecutive
tests.
This adds a new API, copy_to_hotspot, where a single hotspot config
can be provided. clear_storage was also modified to clear out the
.hotspot directory in addition to the regular storage directory.
There is a common interface lookup in many tests in order to initialize
the HostapdCLI object e.g.:
for intf in hostapd_map.values():
if intf.config == 'ssidOWE.conf':
hapd = HostapdCLI(intf)
break
Instead of having to do this in every test, HostapdCLI will now
optionally take a config file (config=<file>). The interface object
will still be prefered (i.e. supplying an interface will not even
check the config file) as to not break existing tests. But if only
a config file is supplied the lookup is done internally.
There are some tests that do still need the interface, as they do
an interface lookup to initialize both hostapd and hwsim at the
same time.
The start_ap method was raising potential dbus errors before converting
them to an IWD error type. This is due to dbus.Set() not taking an error
handler. The only way to address this is to catch the error, convert it
and raise the converted error.
For the interface connectivity tests obtain the lists of interfaces in
use directly from the IWD class, which has the current list from DBus
properties.
The hostapd_map dictionary is indexed by the interface name so there's
no point iterating over it to find that entry whose name matches, we can
look up by the name directly. Simplify code.
In the test utilties updated the wiphy_map struct built from the
TEST_WIPHY_LIST variable to parse the new format and to use a new
structure where each wiphy is a namedtuple and each interface under it
also contains a reference to that wiphy. The 'use' field is now
assigned to the wiphy instead of to the interface.
The AdHoc methods used to miss the change in properties
on AdHoc interface. To address the race condition, we
subscribe 'PropertiesChanged' signal first and then do
GetAll properties call. This way we are not missing
'PropertiesChanged' signal in between these calls.
When using --valgrind, you must also use --verbose iwd, and, depending
on the tests you may also need to include pytests in the verbose flag.
Since anyone using --valgrind definitely wants to see valgrind info
printed they should not need to enable verbose printing. Also, manually
parsing valgrind prints with IWD prints mixed throughout is a nightmare
even for a single test.
This patch uses valgrind's --log-file flag, which is directed to
/tmp/valgrind.log. After the tests runs we can print out this file.
This is a helper/shortcut to get_ordered_networks (plural). In nearly
all the autotests we had (roughly) the same block of code:
ordered_network = get_ordered_networks()[0]
self.assertNotEqual(ordered_network, None)
self.assertEqual(ordered_network.name, "someSsid")
Rather than having to do this, we can simplify and just have a single
call to get_ordered_network, which takes the SSID. If the SSID is not
found, we raise an exception. This avoids needing both asserts since
we are guarenteed that the return is valid and the SSID matches.
This also avoids possible issues with multiple networks showing up in
the GetOrderedNetworks call. Eventually test-runner will support running
tests on real wireless hardware, so its possible we could pick up
unexpected networks in the scan.
At some point a stray ';' got added into an autotest in a section
of code that is heavily copy pasted. So in turn nearly all the autotests
have this stray ';' after list_devices (and a few in other places).
This is a temporary fix to address the recent split of
the Device interface. This patch contains a workaround that
re-enables the auto-tests while the test framework is being
reworked to satisfy the need of the new API and should not
be considered as a permanent solution.
The default behavior of NetworkObject.connect() is to wait for the
Connect dbus method to reply before returning back to the test. This
change makes it possible to connect, but not wait for a reply and
continue on with the test (by specifying wait=False). This is
specifically required to test SAE anti-clogging, where the AP needs
to have several simultaneous connections at once for the anti-clogging
logic to trigger. This change also adds Device.wait_for_connected()
which waits for the device interface State variable to be "connected".
The list_devices API has a race condition where sometimes it will
return zero or less than the expected number of devices and fail
the test. A fix is in place for when only a single devices is
expected, but some tests expect more than one device. This changes
wait_to_appear to an integer, and the caller can specify the number
of devices they expect to get back. The default stays as it was,
zero or "return cached devices".
Previously, we had to wait for an arbitrary amount of time after
iwd was started form the python scripts to make sure that the
radio objects are available on the D-bus. This patch allows to
wait inside of list_devices() method and get back a list of the
devices once they are available.
Allow passing a list of passphrases for subsequent agent requests to the
PSKAgent constructor. This also makes existing tests stricter because
a spurious agent request will not receive the same passphrase.
If --gdb is used with test-runner, all the timeouts in the
IWD class must be turned off otherwise the test will fail.
Inside test-runner, a environment variable (IWD_TEST_TIMEOUTS)
is set to either 'on' or 'off'. Then the IWD class (and any
others) can handle the timeouts accordingly. Note that this
does not turn off dbus timeouts, rather it ignores timeout
failures. This does mean that ultimately the test will most
likely fail due to a dbus timeout, but it at least gives you
unlimited debugging time.
Changed disassociate reason to 0x07 when spoofing a disassociate
frame. This along with 0x06 are the only two reason codes that
should be accepted in an unprotected disassociate frame.
Using the hwsim dbus interface ".Interface" under the radios
object you can now send an arbitrary frame out from that radio.
Two methods have been added, spoof_frame and spoof_disassociate.
The hwsim SendFrame method requires the radio frequency which
is obtained from the hostapd config file. This adds a generic
API to get any config value from the hostapd config, as well
as a get_freq API that converts the channel number to a
frequency.
For testing SA Query, the autotest needs the ablility to force
kill (and restart) hostapd without giving it time to deauth its
stations gracefully. A method was added to the HostapdCLI class
which does a killall -9 hostapd, resets the wlnX interface,
and restarts hostapd with the same arguments as it had before.
The AuthCenter will now wait for the RX thread to start before
continuing with the test.
Also removed the non blocking option and fixed the loop to
handle a blocking recvfrom call.
If the peer detects a sync error, it sends back AUTS. The
authentication center must then re-synchronize and update
the SQN it has saved for the given ISMI.
For testing purposes, it is useful to run hlrauc.py by itself
not including it from another python script like autotests do.
Better error checking was also added as testing can result in
badly formatted data.
We need to reset self._exception after _wait_for_async_op raises an
exception, otherwise _wait_for_async_op will report that exception for
every future operation (this wasn't an issue when an exception always
meant that the test was failing and objects were torn down anyway)
In the beacon loss test try to simulate a periodic communication problem
because we don't support roaming if the AP goes away completely.
2 seconds seems to be enough to consistently trigger the beacon_loss
event without triggering a disconnect by the linux kernel or hiding the AP
from the roam scan. Also set the RSSI for that AP lower so that it is
not reselected by iwd.
Implemented milenage algorithm in hlrauc.py. Unlike EAP-SIM, the
authentication center must compute several values to give back
to the server (hostapd). This was already done by IWD as the peer
in EAP-AKA, but was also needed on the server side (HLR AuC).
Test that the AP interface and the station interface managed by iwd
can actually send and receive ethernet traffic when iwd is in the
connected state. Due to linux routing none of the high level utilities
like ping or arping can be easily used to test communication between
two interfaces of the same machine so use a method based on the
mac80211_hwsim/tools/hwsim_test.c utility in the wpa_supplicant tree
that uses a raw socket to inject unicast and broadcast frames.
Add this check in three tests of different security type connections
that simulate a single AP, and the two roaming tests with two APs.
Check that the station can't communicate with the other AP's interface.
Sometimes iwd will take a while to register its dbus name. The python
class already waits for the name to appear on dbus if iwd is being
launched from python, do this also if iwd was already launched by the
test-runner. My use case was when running iwd under valgrind in which
case it runs slower.
Modify AsyncOpAbstract._wait_for_async_op and
IWD.wait_for_object_condition to call context.iteration() in the
blocking mode instead of calling context.pending() every 0.01s. This
gets rid of busy-waiting and also ensures that the condition is checked
after every single dbus (or other) event. This way a condition that
potentially occurs for less than 0.01s can be reliably waited for.
Make the HostapdCLI class non-static so that each objects corresponds
to a hostapd instance on one network interface (this is independent of
whether the AP instances use one or separate hostapd processes)
