The net.connman.iwd.p2p.ServiceManager interface on the /net/connman/iwd
object lets user applications register/unregister the Wi-Fi Display
service. In this commit all it does is it adds local WFD information
as given by the app, to the frames we send out during discovery.
Instead of accepting raw WFD IE contents from the app and exposing
peers' raw WFD IEs to the app, we build the WFD IEs in our code based on
the few meaningful DBus properties that we support and using default
values for the rest. If an app ever needs any of the other WFD
capabilities more properties can be added.
The are useful for P2P service implementations to know unambiguously
which network interface a new P2P connection is on and the peer's IPv4
address if they need to initiate an IP connection or validate an
incoming connection's address from the peer.
peer->device_addr is a pointer to the Device Address contained in
one of two possible places in peer->bss. If during discovery we've
received a new beacon/probe response for an existing peer and we're
going to replace peer->bss, we also have to update peer->device_addr.
If we were in discovery only to be able to receive the target peer's
GO Negotiation Request (i.e. we have no users requesting discovery)
and we've received the frame and decided that the connection has
failed, exit discovery.
In order to first integrate frame-xchg some refactoring needed to
be done. First it is useful to allow queueing frames up rather than
requiring the module (p2p, anqp etc) to wait for the last frame to
finish. This can be aided by radio management but frame-xchg needed
some refactoring as well.
First was getting rid of this fx pointer re-use. It looks like this
was done to save a bit of memory but things get pretty complex
needed to check if the pointer is stale or has been reset. Instead
of this we now just allocate a new pointer each frame-xchg. This
allows for the module to queue multiple requests as well as removes
the complexity of needed to check if the fx pointer is stale.
Next was adding the ability to track frame-xchgs by ID. If a module
can queue up multiple requests it also needs to be able to cancel
them individually vs per-wdev. This comes free with the wiphy work
queue since it returns an ID which can be given directly to the
caller.
Then radio management was simply piped in by adding the
insert/done APIs.
explicit_bzero is used in src/p2p.c since commit
1675c765a3 but src/missing.h is not
included, as a result build with uclibc fails on:
/home/naourr/work/instance-0/output-1/per-package/iwd/host/opt/ext-toolchain/bin/../lib/gcc/mips64el-buildroot-linux-uclibc/5.5.0/../../../../mips64el-buildroot-linux-uclibc/bin/ld: src/p2p.o: in function `p2p_connection_reset':
p2p.c:(.text+0x2cf4): undefined reference to `explicit_bzero'
/home/naourr/work/instance-0/output-1/per-package/iwd/host/opt/ext-toolchain/bin/../lib/gcc/mips64el-buildroot-linux-uclibc/5.5.0/../../../../mips64el-buildroot-linux-uclibc/bin/ld: p2p.c:(.text+0x2cfc): undefined reference to `explicit_bzero'
Use netconfig.c functions to unconditionally run DHCP negotiation,
fail the connection setup if DHCP fails. Only report connection success
after netconfig returns.
Add the final two steps of the connection setup, and corresponding
disconnect logic:
* the WSC connection to the GO to do the client provisioning,
* the netdev_connect call to use the provisioned credentials for the
final WPA2 connection.
Once we've found the provisioning BSS create the P2P-Client interface
that we're going to use for the actual provisioning and the final P2P
connection.
Some devices (a Wi-Fi Display dongle in my case) will send us Probe
Requests and wait for a response before they send us the GO
Negotiation Request that we're waiting for after the peer initially
replied with "Fail: Information Not Available" to our GO Negotiation
attempt. Curiously this specific device I tested would even accept
a Probe Response with a mangled body such that the IE sequence couldn't
be parsed.
Handle the scenario where the peer's P2P state machine doesn't know
whether a connection has been authorized by the user and needs some time
to ask the user or a higher software layer whether to accept a
connection. In that case their GO Negotiation Response to our GO
Negotiation Request will have the status code "Fail: Information Not
Available" and we need to give the peer 120s to start a new GO
Negotiation with us. In this patch we handle the GO Negotiation
responder side where we parse the Request frame, build and send the
Response and finally parse the Confirmation. The existing code so far
only did the initiator side.
Parse the GO Negotiation Response frame and if no errors found send the
GO Negotiation Confirmation. If that gets ACKed wait for the GO to set
up the group.
Add net.connman.iwd.SimpleConfiguration interfaces to peer objects on
DBus and handle method calls. Building and transmitting the actual
action frames to start the connection sequence is done in the following
commits.
Add some of the Device Discovery logic and the DBus API. Device
Discovery is documented as having three states: the Scan Phase, the Find
Phase and the Listen State.
This patch adds the Scan Phase and the next patch adds the Listen State,
which will happen sequentially in a loop until discovery is stopped.
The Find Phase, which is documented as happening at the beginning of the
Discovery Phase, is incorporated into the Scan Phases. The difference
between the two is that Find Phase scans all of the supported channels
while the Scan Phase only scans the three "social" channels. In
practical terms the Find Phase would discover existing groups, which may
operate on any channel, while the Scan Phase will only discover P2P
Devices -- peers that are not in a group yet. To cover existing groups,
we add a few "non-social" channels to each of our active scans
implementing the Scan Phases.
Implement the Enabled property on device interface. The P2P device is
currently disabled on startup but automatically enabling the P2P device
can be considered.
