cfg80211: add support to probe unexercised mesh link

2019-04-26T11:02:11Z

Adding support to allow mesh HWMP to measure link metrics on unexercised direct mesh path by sending some data frames to other mesh points which are not currently selected as a primary traffic path but only 1 hop away. The absence of the primary path to the chosen node makes it necessary to apply some form of marking on a chosen packet stream so that the packets can be properly steered to the selected node for testing, and not by the regular mesh path lookup.

cfg80211: Add support to set tx power for a station associated

2019-04-26T11:02:11Z

This patch adds support to set transmit power setting type and transmit power level attributes to NL80211_CMD_SET_STATION in order to facilitate adjusting the transmit power level of a station associated to the AP. The added attributes allow selection of automatic and limited transmit power level, with the level defined in dBm format.

nl80211/cfg80211: Extended Key ID support

2019-04-26T11:02:11Z

Add support for IEEE 802.11-2016 "Extended Key ID for Individually Addressed Frames". Extend cfg80211 and nl80211 to allow pairwise keys to be installed for Rx only, enable Tx separately and allow Key ID 1 for pairwise keys.

nl80211: increase NL80211_MAX_SUPP_REG_RULES

2019-04-26T11:02:11Z

The iwlwifi driver creates one rule per channel, thus it needs more rules than normal. To solve this, increase NL80211_MAX_SUPP_REG_RULES so iwlwifi can also fit UHB (ultra high band) channels. Signed-off-by: Shaul Triebitz Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

cfg80211/nl80211: Offload OWE processing to user space in AP mode

2019-04-08T12:32:23Z

This interface allows the host driver to offload OWE processing to user space. This intends to support OWE (Opportunistic Wireless Encryption) AKM by the drivers that implement SME but rely on the user space for the cryptographic/OWE processing in AP mode. Such drivers are not capable of processing/deriving the DH IE. A new NL80211 command - NL80211_CMD_UPDATE_OWE_INFO is introduced to send the request/event between the host driver and user space. Driver shall provide the OWE info (MAC address and DH IE) of the peer to user space for cryptographic processing of the DH IE through the event. Accordingly, the user space shall update the OWE info/DH IE to the driver. Following is the sequence in AP mode for OWE authentication. Driver passes the OWE info obtained from the peer in the Association Request to the user space through the event cfg80211_update_owe_info_event. User space shall process the OWE info received and generate new OWE info. This OWE info is passed to the driver through NL80211_CMD_UPDATE_OWE_INFO request. Driver eventually uses this OWE info to send the Association Response to the peer. This OWE info in the command interface carries the IEs that include PMKID of the peer if the PMKSA is still valid or an updated DH IE for generating a new PMKSA with the peer.

nl80211/cfg80211: Specify band specific min RSSI thresholds with sched scan

2019-04-08T11:44:40Z

This commit adds the support to specify the RSSI thresholds per band for each match set. This enhances the current behavior which specifies a single rssi_threshold across all the bands by introducing the rssi_threshold_per_band. These per band rssi thresholds are referred through NL80211_BAND_* (enum nl80211_band) variables as attribute types. Such attributes/values per each band are nested through NL80211_ATTR_SCHED_SCAN_MIN_RSSI. These band specific rssi thresholds shall take precedence over the current rssi_thold per match set. Drivers indicate this support through %NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_SCHED_SCAN_BAND_SPECIFIC_RSSI_THOLD. These per band rssi attributes/values does not specify "default RSSI filter" as done by NL80211_SCHED_SCAN_MATCH_ATTR_RSSI to stay backward compatible. That said, these per band rssi values have to be specified for the corresponding matchset.

nl80211: Allow set/del pmksa operations for AP

2019-01-25T20:09:21Z

Host drivers may offload authentication to the user space through the commit ("cfg80211: Authentication offload to user space in AP mode"). This interface can be used to implement SAE by having the userspace do authentication/PMKID key derivation and driver handle the association. A step ahead, this interface can get further optimized if the PMKID is passed to the host driver and also have it respond to the association request by the STA on a valid PMKID. This commit enables the userspace to pass the PMKID to the host drivers through the set/del pmksa operations in AP mode. Set/Del pmksa is now restricted to STA/P2P client mode only and thus the drivers might not expect them in any other(AP) mode. This commit also introduces a feature flag NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_AP_PMKSA_CACHING (johannes: renamed) to maintain the backward compatibility of such an expectation by the host drivers. These operations are allowed in AP mode only when the drivers advertize the capability through this flag.

cfg80211: Authentication offload to user space in AP mode

2019-01-25T20:08:05Z

commit 40cbfa90218b ("cfg80211/nl80211: Optional authentication offload to userspace")' introduced authentication offload to user space by the host drivers in station mode. This commit extends the same for the AP mode too. Extend NL80211_ATTR_EXTERNAL_AUTH_SUPPORT to also claim the support of external authentication from the user space in AP mode. A new flag parameter is introduced in cfg80211_ap_settings to intend the same while "start ap". Host driver to use NL80211_CMD_FRAME interface to transmit and receive the authentication frames to / from the user space. Host driver to indicate the flag NL80211_RXMGMT_FLAG_EXTERNAL_AUTH while sending the authentication frame to the user space. This intends to the user space that the driver wishes it to process the authentication frame for certain protocols, though it had initially advertised the support for SME functionality. User space shall accordingly do the authentication and indicate its final status through the command NL80211_CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH. Allow the command even if userspace doesn't include the attribute NL80211_ATTR_SSID for AP interface. Host driver shall continue with the association sequence and indicate the STA connection status through cfg80211_new_sta. To facilitate the host drivers in AP mode for matching the pmkid by the stations during the association, NL80211_CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH is also enhanced to include the pmkid to drivers after the authentication. This pmkid can also be used in the STA mode to include in the association request. Also modify nl80211_external_auth to not mandate SSID in AP mode.

cfg80211: Allow drivers to advertise supported AKM suites

2019-01-25T13:05:31Z

There was no such capability advertisement from the driver and thus the current user space has to assume the driver to support all the AKMs. While that may be the case with some drivers (e.g., mac80211-based ones), there are cfg80211-based drivers that implement SME and have constraints on which AKMs can be supported (e.g., such drivers may need an update to support SAE AKM using NL80211_CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH). Allow such drivers to advertise the exact set of supported AKMs so that user space tools can determine what network profile options should be allowed to be configured.
