Commit a1b790eb9d ('Select AP based on

This modifies the BSS selection routines to calculate SNR and estimated
throughput for each scan result and then use the estimated throughput as
a criteria for sorting the results. This extends the earlier design by
taking into account higher throughput rates if both the AP and local
device supports HT20, HT40, or VHT80. In addition, the maximum rate is
restricted based on SNR.
In practice, this gives significantly higher probability of selecting
HT/VHT APs when there are multiple BSSes in the same ESS and SNR is not
low enough to prevent higher MCS use.

When noise floor measurements are not available, compute SNR
using default values for the noise floor. This helps steer us
towards 5 GHz BSSes in high signal strength environments.
In more detail...
Existing code prefers a 5 GHz BSS when the 5 GHz BSS's signal
strength is "close" to that of the 2.4 GHz BSS, or when both SNRs
are large. However, the mwifiex driver does not provide noise
floor measurements, so we can't compute SNRs.
Because mwifiex doesn't provide NF measurements, the "large SNR"
code wasn't effective. By using default values for the noise floor,
we can again compute SNRs, and decide that the SNR is high enough
that we shouldn't worry about the exact difference in SNR.
The default noise floor values (one for 2.4 GHz, and one for 5 GHz)
were chosen by measurement in a noisy environment, so they should be
conservative.
Note that while this patch is motivated by mwifiex, it affects
ath9k as well. Although ath9k provides noise floor measurements
in general, it will sometimes fail to provide a measurement for
one or more specific channels.
As a result of this patch, we'll always compare BSSes based on SNR
(either measured or estimated), rather than sometimes comparing
based on signal strength. ("Always" assumes that the
WPA_SCAN_LEVEL_DBM flag is set. It is for mwifiex and ath9k.)
While there:
- fix a whitespace issue (spaces -> tab)
- clean up existing comments
- update dump_scan_res to indicate whether the noise floor is
measured, or default

This new wpa_supplicant configuration parameter can be used to force

increased latency and less reliably scans. This may be of use for both

This restores some of the pre-radio work behavior for scanning by
retrying scan trigger if the driver rejects it (most likely returning
EBUSY in case of nl80211-drivers). Retry is indicated in the
CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-FAILED event with "retry=1".
For manual scans (e.g., triggered through "SCAN" control interface
command), no additional retries are performed. In other words, if upper

It was possible for interworking_find_network_match() to find a possible

general, but when combined with wpa_supplicant_fast_associate()

This adds experimental support for wpa_supplicant to assign random local
MAC addresses for both pre-association cases (scan, GAS/ANQP) and for
connections. MAC address policy for each part can be controlled
separately and the connection part can be set per network block.
This requires support from the driver to allow local MAC address to be
changed if random address policy is enabled. It should also be noted
that number of drivers would not support concurrent operations (e.g.,
P2P and station association) with random addresses in use for one or
both.
This functionality can be controlled with the global configuration
parameters mac_addr and preassoc_mac_addr which set the default MAC
address policies for connections and pre-association operations (scan
and GAS/ANQP while not connected). The global rand_addr_lifetime
parameter can be used to set the lifetime of a random MAC address in
seconds (default: 60 seconds). This is used to avoid unnecessarily
frequent MAC address changes since those are likely to result in driver
clearing most of its state. It should be noted that the random MAC
address does not expire during an ESS connection, i.e., this lifetime is
only for the case where the device is disconnected.
The mac_addr parameter can also be set in the network blocks to define
different behavior per network. For example, the global mac_addr=1 and
preassoc_mac_addr=1 settings and mac_addr=0 in a home network profile
would result in behavior where all scanning is performed using a random
MAC address while connections to new networks (e.g.,
Interworking/Hotspot 2.0) would use random address and connections to
the home network would use the permanent MAC address.

Previously, offloaded scanning (PNO) on Android was including SSIDs from

resulted in different behavior for the offloaded case when comparing to
wpa_supplicant initiated scans.
Use the sched_scan match filter to allow broadcast SSID to be used for
scan_ssid=1 networks also with PNO to avoid running active scans for
SSIDs that have not been explicitly marked as requiring an SSID-specific
scan. This reduces exposure of configured network names on the device
when running offloaded scans while the host device is in sleep.

The new "scan_id=<comma separated list of network ids>" parameter can
now be used to specify a list of network ids that have scan_ssid=1 to
indicate active scanning of the SSID. This adds the listed SSIDs to the
scan command to allow manual scan requests to perform active scans for
hidden SSIDs. For example, "SCAN scan_id=1,7,11" would run a scan with
the SSID fetched from the configured network blocks 1, 7, and 11
(assuming those are set with scan_ssid=1). The SSIDs will be included
even from network blocks that are currently disabled.
The maximum number of SSIDs added to the request is limited by the
driver support. If more than supported values are specified, the command
will fail (returns "FAIL").

in such cases.
In addition to this change, RSSI threshold limit is passed as part of

Commit e2f5a9889a was supposed to prevent
new scan request from pushing out the old one. However, it did not

timeout did not exist. It returned 1 only for the case where an old

used to result in wpa_supplicant_req_scan() rescheduling the timeout,
but hew code in eloop_deplete_timeout() did the exact same thing and as
such, did not really change anything apart from the debug log message.
Extend the eloop_deplete_timeout() (and eloop_replenish_timeout() for
that matter since it is very similar) to return three different values
based on whether the timeout existed or not and if yes, whether it was

sta_scan_pending may be left set without an automatic way of getting it
cleared. This can get P2P search stuck if no further station mode scan
operations are run.
Fix this by clearing the sta_scan_pending flag whenever station mode scans
are stopped due to no enabled networks resulting in INACTIVE mode getting
entered. In addition, avoid setting sta_scan_pending flag when a special
scan_res_handler is set so that this does not get enabled on the P2P
Device interface during a P2P search operation.

If there are any disabled networks, show a debug print with the count

Since we have a global P2P module, the flag to trigger scan completion
events to it needs to be in similar context. The previous design
maintained this separately for each virtual interface and if P2P module
did not run its scan operation on the virtual interface that completed
the scan, P2P module would not be allowed to restart operations
properly.

auto_interworking=1 configuration parameter can be used to request
wpa_supplicant to use Interworking network selection automatically as a

results do not match with enabled networks. This makes scanning work

Previously, all station mode scan operations were either skipped or
delayed while any P2P operation was in progress. To make concurrent
operations easier to use, reduce this limitation by allowing a scan
operation to be completed in the middle of a p2p_find. In addition,
allow station mode association to be completed. When the station mode
operation is run to its completion (scan results not acted on,
connection to an AP completed, connection failed), resume the p2p_find
operation.

Like bgscan, autoscan is an optional module based feature to automate
scanning but while disconnected or inactive.
Instead of requesting directly a scan, it only sets the scan_interval
and the sched_scan_interval. So, if the driver supports sched_scan,
autoscan will be able to tweak its interval. Otherwise, the tweaked
scan_interval will be used. If scan parameters needs to be tweaked, an
autoscan_params pointer in wpa_s will provide those. So req_scan /
req_sched_scan will not set the scan parameters as they usually do, but
instead will use this pointer.
Modules will not have to request a scan directly, like bgscan does.
Instead, it will need to return the interval it wants after each
notification.

Excessive debug level can now be used to dump the IEs received in scan

Do not try to associate with a network that has an invalid or incomplete

fail anyway. This commits adds a common function for checking whether a
network block is disabled to make it easier to check network blocks

wpas_wps_in_use() was forcing WPS to be enabled unconditionally if P2P
support was included in the build. This is not really the correct
behavior for the case when P2P has been disabled at runtime. Change the

In scan.c, merge a channel's noise value into the scan results. When
comparing scan results, compute the signal-to-noise ratio and use it
when available. Prefer a 5 GHz network if its SNR is really big (> 30)
or if its SNR is relatively close to the other network's.
The interface may not yet have been set to P2P client mode immediately
after GO Negotiation when doing the scan before association request.
Consequently, the scan request in this state has to specify that the
specific P2P probe mode is used to disable IEEE 802.11b rates.

This code was used only with driver_test.c to allow MLME operations
in hostapd to be tested without having to use a real radio. There
are no plans on extending this to any other use than testing and
mac80211_hwsim has now obsoled the need for this type of testing.
As such, we can drop this code from wpa_supplicant to clean up the
implementation of unnecessary complexity.
The new wpa_supplicant.conf file global parameters interworking and
hessid can be used to configure wpa_supplicant to include
Interworking element in Probe Request frames.
When initializing, the scheduled scan code was being called before
everything is ready. With normal scans, the first scan round is
delayed, so the initialization is finished by the time it really

In new Linux kernel versions (>=3.0), nl80211 adds scheduled scan

The new function, p2p_scan_ie_buf_len(), can be used to figure out
how large a buffer needs to be allocated for p2p_scan_ie() use. This
makes it easier to add new data into the buffer without forcing all
callers to be updated to use a larger buffer.
The P2P search mechanism depends on the same scan functionality that
is used for station mode scans. If these operations are being used
at the same time, scan result processing is not handled properly.
Avoid unexpected behavior by delaying station mode scan requests
if a P2P operation is in progress.
Among other things, this allows the station mode connection attempt
to be continued after a P2P find or group formation has been completed
if the interface is available (i.e., when the P2P group uses a
separate virtual interface).
There are some corner cases, where the wpa_supplicant_req_scan() call
may end up scheduling a scan even if we are about to start a GO. Avoid
this by explicitly marking the GO network to be selected for the next
connection.
This converts number of debugging messages to use wpa_msg() in order
to allow the interface name to be shown with the messages.
A new function, wpa_dbg(), is introduced to allow
CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG=y builds to remove the debug strings. This is
otherwise identical with wpa_msg(), but it gets compiled out if stdout
debugging is disabled.
The special case of requiring blacklisting count to be 2 or higher
is only needed when more than a single network is currently enabled.
As such, we should not do that when only a single network is enabled.
This make the station more likely to follow network side load
balancing attempts where the current AP may disassociate us with
an assumption that we would move to another AP.
When authentication or association fails when trying to connect to
a BSS in an ESS that has multiple BSSes based on previous scans,
limit the first recovery scan to only the known channels that has
been seen previously. This speeds up recovery in some of the most
commonly used load balancing mechanisms in enterprise WLAN
networks.
This is not supposed to happen, but in theory, the GO may end up
changing its channels at some point. While it would be reasonable
to use one of the common channels, GO may be forced to use another
channel. The most likely reason for this would be if the P2P client
is enforcing only a single channel to be used (e.g., to avoid
multi-channel concurrent operations).
If CONFIG_WPS_STRICT is set, validate WPS IE(s) in management frames and
reject the frames if any of the mandatory attributes is missing or if an
included attribute uses an invalid value. In addition, verify that all
mandatory attributes are included and have valid values in the WSC
messages.
The wpa_supplicant compilation without CONFIG_WPS option results in
messages below.
scan.c: In function 'wpa_supplicant_scan':
scan.c:246: warning: unused variable 'wps'
This trivial patch erases this warning.
When SME is in wpa_supplicant (mac80211), we need to make sure that
the kernel code has valid BSS entry for the AP. In some cases it
seemed to be possible to end up not having current information in
cfg80211 or mac80211 which can result to association failures. Avoid
this by always running through the scan request before initial
connection attempt.
The AP configuration may change after provisioning, so it is better
not to use the current security policy to prioritize results. Instead,
use WPS Selected Registrar attribute as the main sorting key and use
signal strength next without considering security policy or rate sets.
The non-WPS provisioning case remains as-is, i.e., this change applies
only when trying to find an AP for WPS provisioning.
Addition of the background scanning mechanism in commit
60b94c9819 moved the scan trigger
into a new function that was also incrementing the scan_runs
counter, but the removal of the previous scan_runs incrementation
was forgotten from that patch. This counter should only be updated
into a single location, so remove the old one. This improves AP
selection for WPS provisioning by not skipping some of the initial
scans.
