cfg80211: support 4-way handshake offloading for 802.1X

2017-06-13T08:44:09+00:00

Add API for setting the PMK to the driver. For FT support, allow
setting also the PMK-R0 Name.

This can be used by drivers that support 4-Way handshake offload
while IEEE802.1X authentication is managed by upper layers.

cfg80211: add request id to cfg80211_sched_scan_*() api

2017-04-28T12:51:43+00:00

Have proper request id filled in the SCHED_SCAN_RESULTS and
SCHED_SCAN_STOPPED notifications toward user-space by having the
driver provide it through the api.

nl80211: allow multiple active scheduled scan requests

2017-04-26T21:17:38+00:00

This patch implements the idea to have multiple scheduled scan requests
running concurrently. It mainly illustrates how to deal with the incoming
request from user-space in terms of backward compatibility. In order to
use multiple scheduled scans user-space needs to provide a flag attribute
NL80211_ATTR_SCHED_SCAN_MULTI to indicate support. If not the request is
treated as a legacy scan.

Drivers currently supporting scheduled scan are now indicating they support
a single scheduled scan request. This obsoletes WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_SCHED_SCAN.

cfg80211: simplify netlink socket owner interface deletion

2017-04-26T21:17:35+00:00

There's no need to allocate a portid structure and then, for
each of those, walk the interfaces - we can just add a flag
to each interface and walk those directly. Due to padding in
the struct, we can even do it without any memory cost, and
it even simplifies the code.

cfg80211: preserve wdev ID across netns changes

2017-03-17T10:39:55+00:00

When a wdev changes network namespace, its wdev ID will get
reassigned since NETDEV_REGISTER is called again, in the new
network namespace. Avoid that by checking if it was already
assigned before, and document why we do that.

cfg80211: Share Channel DFS state across wiphys of same DFS domain

2017-03-06T12:54:20+00:00

Sharing DFS channel state across multiple wiphys (radios) could
be useful with multiple radios on the system. When one radio
completes CAC and markes the channel available another radio
can use this information and start beaconing without really doing
CAC.

Whenever there is a state change in dfs channel associated to
a particular wiphy the the same state change is propagated to
other wiphys having the same DFS reg domain configuration.
Also when a new wiphy is created the dfs channel state of
other existing wiphys of same DFS domain is copied.

cfg80211: Accept multiple RSSI thresholds for CQM

2017-03-06T08:21:38+00:00

Change the SET CQM command's RSSI threshold attribute to accept any
number of thresholds as a sorted array.  The API should be backwards
compatible so that if one s32 threshold value is passed, the old
mechanism is enabled.  The netlink event generated is the same in both
cases.

cfg80211 handles an arbitrary number of RSSI thresholds but drivers have
to provide a method (set_cqm_rssi_range_config) that configures a range
set by a high and a low value.  Drivers have to call back when the RSSI
goes out of that range and there's no additional event for each time the
range is reconfigured as there was with the current one-threshold API.

This method doesn't have a hysteresis parameter because there's no
benefit to the cfg80211 code from having the hysteresis be handled by
hardware/driver in terms of the number of wakeups.  At the same time
it would likely be less consistent between drivers if offloaded or
done in the drivers.

cfg80211: fix NAN bands definition

2017-02-09T14:17:30+00:00

The nl80211_nan_dual_band_conf enumeration doesn't make much sense.
The default value is assigned to a bit, which makes it weird if the
default bit and other bits are set at the same time.

To improve this, get rid of NL80211_NAN_BAND_DEFAULT and add a wiphy
configuration to let the drivers define which bands are supported.
This is exposed to the userspace, which then can make a decision on
which band(s) to use.  Additionally, rename all "dual_band" elements
to "bands", to make things clearer.

cfg80211: NL80211_ATTR_SOCKET_OWNER support for CMD_CONNECT

2017-01-09T12:08:47+00:00

Disconnect or deauthenticate when the owning socket is closed if this
flag is supplied to CMD_CONNECT or CMD_ASSOCIATE.  This may be used
to ensure userspace daemon doesn't leave an unmanaged connection behind.

In some situations it would be possible to account for that, to some
degree, in the deamon restart code or in the up/down scripts without
the use of this attribute.  But there will be systems where the daemon
can go away for varying periods without a warning due to local resource
management.
