There is no functional change here but checking the return
value makes static analysis much happier. Checking the
return and setting the default inside the if clause is also
consistent with how IWD does it many other places.
Dbus should be started as a multi-test process from the
TestContext, which leaves the dbus address file around for
the full test run. For Namespaces dbus-daemon should be
closed when the Namespace closes.
Handle situations where the BSS we're trying to connect to is no longer
in the kernel scan result cache. Normally, the kernel will re-scan the
target frequency if this happens on the CMD_CONNECT path, and retry the
connection.
Unfortunately, CMD_AUTHENTICATE path used for WPA3, OWE and FILS does
not have this scanning behavior. CMD_AUTHENTICATE simply fails with
a -ENOENT error. Work around this by trying a limited scan of the
target frequency and re-trying CMD_AUTHENTICATE once.
Every single roaming test had one of two problems with watching the
state change between roaming --> connected. Either the test used
wait_for_object_condition to wait for 'connected' which could allow
other states in between. Or it simply used an assert. The assert
wouldn't allow other state changes, but at the cost of potentially
failing due to IWD not having made it to the 'connected' state yet.
Now we have wait_for_object_change which takes two conditions:
initial (from_str) and expected (to_str). This API will not allow
any other conditions except these, and will wait for the expected
condition before continuing. This allows roaming test to reliably
wait for the roaming --> connected state change.
This is similar to wait_for_object_condition, but will not allow
any intermediate state changes between the initial and expected
conditions. This is useful for roaming tests when the expected
state change is 'connected' --> 'roaming' with no changes in
between.
This test occationally failed due to a badly timed DBus scan
triggering right when hwsim tried sending out the spoofed frame.
This caused mac80211_hwsim to reject CMD_FRAME when the timing
was just right.
Rather than always starting a DBus scan we can rely on periodic
scans and only DBus scan if there are no networks in IWD's list.
A scanning check was also added prior to sending out the frame
and if true we wait for not scanning. This is more paranoia than
anything.
Sometimes scan results can come in with a MAC address which
should be in the first index of addrs[] (42:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx).
This causes a failure to lookup the radio path.
There was also a failure path added if the radio cannot be
found rather than rely on DBus to fail with a None path.
The arguments to SendFrame were also changed to use the
ByteArray DBus type rather than python's internal bytearray.
This shouldn't have any effect, but its more consistent with
how DBus arguments should be used.
After recent changes fixing wait_for_object_condition it was accidentally
made to only work with classes, not other types of objects. Instead
create a minimal class to hold _wait_timed_out so it doesnt rely on
'obj' holding the boolean.
An earlier patch fixed a problem where a queued quick scan would
be triggered and fail once already connected, resulting in a state
transition from connected --> autoconnect_full. This fixed the
Connect() path but this could also happen via autoconnect. Starting
from a connected state, the sequence goes:
- DBus scan is triggered
- AP disconnects IWD
- State transition from disconnected --> autoconnect_quick
- Queue quick scan
- DBus scan results come in and used to autoconnect
- A connect work item is inserted ahead of all others, transition
from autoconnect_quick --> connecting.
- Connect completes, transition from connecting --> connected
- Quick scan can finally get triggered, which the kernel fails to
do since IWD is connected, transition from connected -->
autoconnect_full.
This can be fixed by checking for a pending quick scan in the
autoconnect path.
Commit eac2410c83 ("station: Take scanned frequencies into account")
has made it unnecessary to explicitly invoke station_set_scan_results
with the expire to true in case a dbus scan finished prematurely or a
subset was not able to be started. Remove this no-longer needed logic.
Fixes: eac2410c83 ("station: Take scanned frequencies into account")
The diagnostic interface will now only come up when station is
connected. This avoids the need for display station to return
a 'connected' out parameter. We can instead just see that
the diagnostic interface doesn't exist.
The diagnostic interface returns an error anyways if station is
not connected so it makes more sense to only bring the interface
up when its actually usable. This also removes the interface
when station disconnects, which was never done before (the
interface stayed up indefinitely due to a forgotten remove call).
When we're auto-connecting and have hidden networks configured, use
active scans regardless of whether we see any hidden BSSes in our
existing scan results.
This allows us to more effectively see/connect to hidden networks
when first powering up or after suspend.
Kernel might report hidden BSSes that are reported from beacon frames
separately than ones reported due to probe responses. This may confuse
the station network collation logic since the scan_bss generated by the
probe response might be removed erroneously when processing the scan_bss
that was generated due to a beacon.
Make sure that bss_match also takes the SSID into account and only
matches scan_bss structures that have the same BSSID and SSID contents.
Instead of manually managing whether to expire BSSes or not, use the
scanned frequency set instead. This makes the API slightly easier to
understand (dropping two boolean arguments in a row) and also a bit more
future-proof.
Commit d372d59bea checks whether a hidden network had a previous
connection attempt and re-tries. However, it inadvertently dropped
handling of a condition where a non-hidden network SSID is provided to
ConnectHiddenNetwork. Fix that.
Fixes: d372d59bea ("station: Allow ConnectHiddenNetwork to be retried")
The diagnostic interface serves no purpose until the AP has
been started. Any calls on it will return an error so instead
it makes more sense to bring it up when the AP is started, and
down when the AP is stopped.
This will show some basic AP information like Started and
network Name. Some cleanup was done to make the AP interface
and client table columns line up.
Its useful being able to refer to the network Name/SSID once
an AP is started. For example opening an iwctl session with an
already started AP provides no way of obtaining the SSID.
In some cases the AP can send a deauthenticate frame right after
accepting our authentication. In this case the kernel never properly
sends a CMD_CONNECT event with a failure, even though CMD_COONNECT was
used to initiate the connection. Try to work around that by detecting
that a Deauthenticate event arrives prior to any Associte or Connect
events and handle this case as a connect failure.
To help understand scanning results a bit better and cut down on scan
output add an option to not print the contents of the IEs. Only the
SSID IE will be printed.
Now that ConnectHiddenNetwork can be invoked while we're connected, set
the mac randomization hint parameter properly. The kernel will reject
requests if randomization is enabled while we're connected to a network.
If we forget a hidden network, then make sure to remove it from the
network list completely. Otherwise it would be possible to still
issue a Network.Connect to that particular object, but the fact that the
network is hidden would be lost.
