This is probably the trickiest part in this patchset. I'm introducing a
new logic where instead of using the interfaces that we find present
when a wiphy is detected, which would normally be the one default
interface per wiphy but could be 0 or more than one, we create one
ourselves with the socket owner attribute and use exactly one for
Station, AP and Ad-Hoc modes. When IWD starts we delete all the
interfaces on existing wiphys that we're going to use (as determined by
the wiphy white/blacklists) or freshly hotplugged ones, and only then we
register the interface we're going to use meaning that the wiphy's
limits on the number of concurrent interfaces of each type should be at
0. Otherwise we'd be unlikely to be abe to create the station interface
as most adapters only allow one. After that we ignore any interfaces
that may be created by other processes as we have no use for multiple
station interfaces.
At this point manager.c only keeps local state for wiphys during
the interface setup although when we start adding P2P code we will be
creating and removing interfaces multiple times during the wiphy's
runtime and may need to track it here or in wiphy.c. We do not
specifically check the interface number limits received during the wiphy
dump, if we need to create any interfaces and we're over the driver's
maximum for that specific iftype we'll still attempt it and report error
if it fails.
I tested this and it seems to work with my laptop's intel card and some
USB hotplug adapters.
The latest refactoring ended up assuming that FT related elements would
be handled in netdev_associate_event. However, FullMac cards (that do
not generate netdev_associate_event) could still connect using FT AKMs
and perform the Initial mobility association. In such cases the FTE
element was required but ended up not being set into the handshake.
This caused the handshake to fail during PTK 1_of_4 processing.
Fix this by making sure that FTE + related info is set into the
handshake, albeit with a lower sanity checking level since the
elements have been processed by the firmware already.
Note that it is currently impossible for actual FTs to be performed on
FullMac cards, so the extra logic and sanity checking to handle these
can be skipped.
Add functionality to read and parse the known frequencies
from permanent storage on start of the service. On service
shutdown, we sync the known frequencies back to the permanent
storage.
Each known network (previously connected) will have a set
of known frequencies associated with it, e.g. a set of
frequencies from all BSSs observed. The list of known
frequencies is sorted with the most recently observed
frequency in the head.
Previously, the scan results were disregarded once the new
ones were available. To enable the scan scenarios where the
new scan results are delivered in parts, we introduce a
concept of aging BSSs and will remove them based on
retention time.
Add manager.c, a new file where the wiphy and interface creation/removal
will be handled and interface use policies will be implemented. Since
not all kernel-side nl80211 interfaces are tied to kernel-side netdevs,
netdev.c can't manage all of the interfaces that we will be using, so
the logic is being moved to a common place where all interfaces on a
wiphy will be managed according to the policy, device support for things
like P2P and user enabling/disabling/connecting with P2P which require
interfaces to be dynamically added and removed.
Add wiphy_create, wiphy_update_from_genl and wiphy_destroy that together
will let a new file command the wiphy creation, updates and deletion
with the same functionality the current config notification handler
implements in wiphy.c.
As mentioned in code comments the name is NUL-terminated so there's no
need to return the length path, which was ignored in some occasions
anyway. Consistently treat it as NUL-terminated but also validate.
Make netdev_create_from_genl public and change signature to return the
created netdev or NULL. Also add netdev_destroy that destroys and
unregisters the created netdevs. Both will be used to move the
whole interface management to a new file.
Switch the command pattern to match the common command scheme
where the entity name (network name) follows the command family name:
From
known-network forget <network name>
To
known-network <network name> forget
In addition, it extracts the network match by name logic into its
own function for the further reusability. In the case of ambiguity
between the network objects with the same SSID but different security
types the logic asks to specify the security type in addition
to the network name as follows:
known-network <network name.security> forget
The handshake_state only holds a single AKM value. FILS depends on the AP
supporting EAP as well as FILS. The first time IWD connects, it will do a
full EAP auth. Subsequent connections (assuming FILS is supported) will use
FILS. But if the AP does not support FILS there is no reason to cache the
ERP keys.
This adds the supp_fils to the handshake_state. Now, station.c can set this
flag while building the handshake. This flag can later be checked when
caching the ERP keys.
This allows IWD to cache ERP keys after a full EAP run. Caching
allows IWD to quickly connect to the network later on using ERP or
FILS.
The cache will contain the EAP Identity, Session ID, EMSK, SSID and
optionally the ERP domain. For the time being, the cache entry
lifetimes are hard coded to 24 hours. Eventually the cache should
be written to disk to allow ERP/FILS to work after a reboot or
IWD restart.
mschaputil already had similar functionality, but ERP will need this
as well. These two functions will also handle identities with either
'@' or '\' to separate the user and domain.
Many operations performed during an error in load_settings were the same
as the ones performed when freeing the eap object. Add eap_free_common
to unify these.
EAP identites are recommended to follow RFC 4282 (The Network Access
Identifier). This RFC recommends a maximum NAI length of 253 octets.
It also mentions that RADIUS is only able to support NAIs of 253
octets.
Because of this, IWD should not allow EAP identities larger than 253
bytes. This change adds a check in eap_load_settings to verify the
identity does not exceed this limit.
