Currently the DBus Interface.Scan API is counter-intuitive. It issues
ProbeRequests when doing passive scans when channels are specified, and
does not issue ProbeRequests for broadcast active scans.
This patch updates DBus API .Scan() logic per the test cases listed below:
1) Interface.Scan({'Type':'passive'})
Request: Passive scan (all channels)
Should be: No ProbeRequests; Passive Scan results for all channels
Previous: 1 ProbeRequest on all channels for both broadcast SSID and
selected network (scan_ssid=1)
This Patch: --No change--: 1 ProbeRequest on all channels for both
broadcast SSID and selected network (scan_ssid=1)
2) Interface.Scan({'Type':'passive', 'Channel':(2412, 20)})
Request: Passive scan (1 channel)
Should be: No ProbeRequests; Passive Scan results for 1 channel
(plus overlapping channels)
Previous: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
This Patch: --Fixed--: No ProbeRequests; Passive Scan results for 1
channel (plus overlapping channels)
3) Interface.Scan({'Type':'active'})
Request: Active scan with no SSIDs (all channels)
Should be: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on all channels
Previous: No ProbeRequests; passive scan results for all channels
This Patch: --Fixed--: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on all channels
4) Interface.Scan({'Type':'active', 'Channel':(2412, 20)})
Request: Active scan with no SSIDs (1 channel)
Should be: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
Previous: No ProbeRequests; Passive scan results for specified
channel (plus overlapping channels)
This Patch: --Fixed--: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
This clears up authentication state in the driver and in case of
cfg80211, unlocks the BSS entry for the previously used AP. The
previous commit cf4783e35f changed
only the ctrl_iface DISCONNECT command behavior; this new commit
does the same for D-Bus commands.
This avoids an invalid D-Bus call during interface initialization.
The wpa_state change can happen before the D-Bus interface is set up,
so we must be preparted to handle this early event signal. In theory,
it should be possible to reorder initialization code to make sure
D-Bus signals are ready, but that would likely require quite a bit of
code restructuring, so it looks like a safer option for now is to just
skip the early event.
Add "wpa-ft-psk", "wpa-psk-sha256", "wpa-ft-eap" and "wpa-eap-sha256"
possible KeyMgmt values of interface capabilities to fit values in
BSS RSN options dictionary.
Despite comments in the wpa_config_update_prio_list(struct wpa_config
*config) telling that it is called "if priority for a network is
changed", it is apparently not.

Expose RSN and WPA properties for BSS objects containing information
about key management and cipher suites. Get rid of WPA/RSN/WPSIE
byte array properties and add IEs byte array property with all IE data
instead.
There was an extra semicolon that broke the calculation of registered
properties and resulted in obj_desc->prop_changed_flags not being
allocated long enough for all the flags.
The path pointer used as the timeout_ctx was not constant; the path
string itself may have been the same, but the pointer certainly was not
since it was sometimes from stack and sometimes from the dynamically
allocated buffer in obj_desc. This caused some of the eloop timeout
cancellations not to find the timeout. Fix this by using the obj_desc
as the timeout context data.
Instead of sending PropertiesChanged signals for each changed
property separately, mark properties as changed and send aggregated
PropertiesChanged signals for each interface in each object.
Aggregated PropertiesChanged signal is sent
- for all object after responding on DBus call
- for specified object after manual call to
wpa_dbus_flush_object_changed_properties() function
- for each object separately after short timeout (currently 5 ms)
which starts when first property in object is marked changed
The actual supplicant state is exposed via a property on the interface
object. So having a separate signal StateChanged for notifying about
changes is a bad idea. The standard PropertiesChanged signal should be
used for this.
The advantage of StateChanged signal was that it includes the previous
state, but not even NetworkManager is making use of this. And tracking
the old state via the property and this signal is easily possible anyway.
Instead of using some magic integer values that really only mean
something to WPA internal code, just use simple strings. Possible
values are "msgdump", "debug", "info", "warning" and "error" which
map directly to WPA debugging support.
This fits better in wpa_supplicant/scan.c. Couple of remaining
scan_helpers.c functions are currently used in driver wrappers,
but they can likely be removed in the future.
There is no need to duplicate the method/signal/property arrays that
were registered for objects. The registration was using static arrays
on methods/signals/properties in all places and we can as well use
those throughout without having to allocate memory and copy all the
entries for every object. This reduces number of allocations and
amount of unnecessary code quite a bit.
Get more information about scans when updating BSS table information.
This allows the missing-from-scans expiration rule to work properly
when only partial set of channels or SSIDs are being scanned.
The perror() calls do not make much sense with libdbus functions and
wpa_printf() would really be used for all error printing anyway. In
addition, many of the error messages on out-of-memory cases are not
really of much use, so they were removed. This is also cleaning up
some of the error path handling to avoid duplicated code.
These cannot be NULL, so there is no point in checking for that. In
addition, the accessor function for this is just making the code harder
to understand.
This callback structure was specific to the new D-Bus API which makes
it more or less pointless. It is just simpler to call the notification
functions directly. More proper design could be to use a generic
mechanism for registering notification callbacks into notify.c, but
that is not yet available and should not be designed just based on a
single user.
These header files are included outside the dbus subdirectory and there
is not really any need to force the libdbus dbus/dbus.h header file to
be included into these files.
There is no need to go through methods, signals, and properties in
two loops and only collect interfaces in the first run. Get rid of
unnecessary CPU use by generating the XML data for interfaces with
a single pass.
The XML used in D-Bus introspection is simple and there is no need to use
libxml2 to generate it. This gets rid of the dependency on the large
library by using internal XML generation.
Simpler to use for loops instead of handling next pointer selection
in all places. In addition, couple of functions could have ended up
in an infinite loop on error path since the pointer update was missed.
In addition, remove Quality and Noise properties since the BSS table
is not the correct place for fetching per-channel information (Noise)
and Quality is not well-defined (nor available from many drivers).
We don't actually need to define separate user_data argument for
each method handler and property getter/setter. Instead, we can define
one argument for the whole object. That will make it easier to register
objects like BSS or Networks which require allocating and freeing
memory for their arguments.
This was mostly identical code that had been copied for the new D-Bus
API implementation and as such, should really have been shared from
the beginning. In addition, the copied code ended up generating
interesting stack traces since the actual D-Bus connection was being
shared even though the pointer to it was stored in two distinct
data structures. The old D-Bus code ended up dispatching some
D-Bus callbacks which ended up running the new D-Bus code.
Since the private context pointers were mostly identical, everything
seemed to more or less work, but this design was just making things
more complex and potentially very easy to break.
Do not try to unregister BSS objects twice (the latter one with invalid
path) and make sure all network objects get added and removed properly
(the ones read from configuration file were not being registered, but
were tried to be unregistered).
Replace the scan results -based implementation with the use of information
from the new BSS table maintained by wpa_supplicant to get a more stable
source of BSS data. Change the use of BSSID as the key for the BSS object
to use the BSS table unique identifier so that multi-SSID APs can be
handled properly.
Must initialize key to be NULL since it can be used in an error
message. If the Scan method did not actually include any dict entries,
the uninitialized pointer was used and this could result in
wpa_supplicant crashing.
Removed the hack that used typecast to get rid of const by using local
variables that are allocated and freed. Fix couple of memory leaks
and check that the required Ifname parameter is included.
The D-Bus interface does not really have anything to do with the
wpa_supplicant ctrl_iface interface and as such, this prefix in
dbus files is both confusing and unnecessarily. Make the file names
shorter by removing this prefix.
