This should have been updated along with the connect and roam
event separation. Since netdev_connect_event is not being
re-used for CMD_ROAM the comment did not make sense anymore.
Still, there needs to be a check to ensure we were not disconnected
while waiting for GET_SCAN to come back.
netdev_connect_event was being reused for parsing of CMD_ROAM
attributes which made some amount of sense since these events
are nearly identical, but due to the nature of firmware roaming
there really isn't much IWD needs to parse from CMD_ROAM. In
addition netdev_connect_event was getting rather complicated
since it had to handle both CMD_ROAM and CMD_CONNECT.
The only bits of information IWD needs to parse from CMD_ROAM
is the roamed BSSID, authenticator IEs, and supplicant IEs. Since
this is so limited it now makes little sense to reuse the entire
netdev_connect_event function, and intead only parse what is
needed for CMD_ROAM.
station should be isolated as much as possible from the details of the
driver type and how a particular AKM is handled under the hood. It will
be up to wiphy to pick the best AKM for a given bss. netdev in turn
will pick how to drive the particular AKM that was picked.
Currently netdev handles SoftMac and FullMac drivers mostly in the same
way, by building CMD_CONNECT nl80211 commands and letting the kernel
figure out the details. Exceptions to this are FILS/OWE/SAE AKMs which
are only supported on SoftMac drivers by using
CMD_AUTHENTICATE/CMD_ASSOCIATE.
Recently, basic support for SAE (WPA3-Personal) offload on FullMac cards
was introduced. When offloaded, the control flow is very different than
under typical conditions and required additional logic checks in several
places. The logic is now becoming quite complex.
Introduce a concept of a connection type in order to make it clearer
what driver and driver features are being used for this connection. In
the future, connection types can be expanded with 802.1X handshake
offload, PSK handshake offload and CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH based SAE
connections.
Commit 6e8b76527 added a switch statement for AKM suites which
was not correct as this is a bitmask and may contain multiple
values. Intead we can rely on wiphy_select_akm which is a more
robust check anyways.
Fixes: 6e8b765278 ("wiphy: add check for CMD_AUTH/CMD_ASSOC support")
If there is an associate timeout, retry a few times in case
it was just a fluke. At this point SAE is fully negotiated
so it makes sense to attempt to save the connection.
Any auth proto which did not implement the assoc_timeout handler
could end up getting 'stuck' forever if there was an associate
timeout. This is because in the event of an associate timeout IWD
only sets a few flags and relies on the connect event to actually
handle the failure. The problem is a connect event never comes
if the failure was a timeout.
To fix this we can explicitly fail the connection if the auth
proto has not implemented assoc_timeout or if it returns false.
In the same vein as requesting a neighbor report after
connecting for the first time, it should also be done
after a roam to obtain the latest neighbor information.
Converts ie_rsn_akm_suite values (and WPA1 hint) into a more
human readable security string such as:
WPA2-Personal, WPA3-Personal, WPA2-Personal + FT etc.
When we cancel a quick scan that has already been triggered, the
Scanning property is never reset to false. This doesn't fully reflect
the actual scanning state of the hardware since we don't (yet) abort
the scan, but at least corrects the public API behavior.
{Network} [/net/connman/iwd/0/7/73706733_psk] Connected = False
{Station} [/net/connman/iwd/0/7] Scanning = True
{Station} [/net/connman/iwd/0/7] State = connecting
{Station} [/net/connman/iwd/0/7] ConnectedNetwork =
/net/connman/iwd/0/7/73706733_psk
{Network} [/net/connman/iwd/0/7/73706733_psk] Connected = True
If IWD is connecting to a SAE/WPA3 BSS and Auth/Assoc commands
are not supported the only option is SAE offload. At this point
network_connect should have verified that the extended feature
for SAE offload exists so we can simply enable offload if these
commands are not supported.
SAE offload support requires some minor tweaks to CMD_CONNECT
as well as special checks once the connect event comes in. Since
at this point we are fully connected.
After adding network_bss_update, network now has a match_addr
queue function which can be used to replace an unneeded
l_queue_get_entries loop with l_queue_find.
This will swap out a scan_bss object with a duplicate that may
exist in a networks bss_list. The duplicate will be removed by
since the object is owned by station it is assumed that it will
be freed elsewhere.
If the hardware roams automatically we want to be sure to not
react to CQM events and attempt to roam/disconnect on our own.
Note: this is only important for very new kernels where CQM
events were recently added to brcmfmac.
Roaming on a full mac card is quite different than soft mac
and needs to be specially handled. The process starts with
the CMD_ROAM event, which tells us the driver is already
roamed and associated with a new AP. After this it expects
the 4-way handshake to be initiated. This in itself is quite
simple, the complexity comes with how this is piped into IWD.
After CMD_ROAM fires its assumed that a scan result is
available in the kernel, which is obtained using a newly
added scan API scan_get_firmware_scan. The only special
bit of this is that it does not 'schedule' a scan but simply
calls GET_SCAN. This is treated special and will not be
queued behind any other pending scan requests. This lets us
reuse some parsing code paths in scan and initialize a
scan_bss object which ultimately gets handed to station so
it can update connected_bss/bss_list.
For consistency station must also transition to a roaming state.
Since this roam is all handled by netdev two new events were
added, NETDEV_EVENT_ROAMING and NETDEV_EVENT_ROAMED. Both allow
station to transition between roaming/connected states, and ROAMED
provides station with the new scan_bss to replace connected_bss.
Adds support for getting firmware scan results from the kernel.
This is intended to be used after the firmware roamed automatically
and the scan result is require for handshake initialization.
The scan 'request' is competely separate from the normal scan
queue, though scan_results, scan_request, and the scan_context
are all used for consistency and code reuse.
