It was not easily possible to separate configuration of an interface and
credentials when using the configuration file instead of the control
interface or D-Bus interface for setting up the network profiles. This
makes it hard to distribute configuration across a set of nodes which
use wpa_supplicant without also having to store credentials in the same
file. While this can be solved via scripting, having a native way to
achieve this would be preferable.
Turns out there already is a framework to have external password
storages. It only had a single "test" backend though, which is kind of
an in-memory store which gets initialized with all passwords up front
and is mainly for testing purposes. This isn't really suitable for the
above use case: the backend cannot be initialized as part of the central
configuration given that it needs the credentials, and we want to avoid
scripting.
This commit thus extends the infrastructure to implement a new backend,
which instead uses a simple configuration file containing key-value
pairs. The file follows the format which wpa_supplicant.conf(5) uses:
empty lines and comments are ignored, while passwords can be specified
with simple `password-name=password-value` assignments.
With this new backend, splitting up credentials and configuration
becomes trivial:
# /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ext_password_backend=file:/etc/wpa_supplicant/psk.conf
network={
ssid="foobar"
psk=ext:foobar
}
# /etc/wpa_supplicant/psk.conf
foobar=ecdabff9c80632ec6fcffc4a8875e95d45cf93376d3b99da6881298853dc686b
Alternative approaches would be to support including other configuration
files in the main configuration, such that common configuration and
network declarations including credentials are split up into separate
files. But the implementation would probably have been more complex
compared to reusing the already-existing framework for external password
backends.

The function wpa_config_get_line() is used by the wpa_supplicant config
file parser to retrieve the next non-comment non-blank line. We'll need
the same kind of functionality to implement the file-based external
password backend, so as a preparatory step this commit extracts the
function into its own standalone file in the utils package.
No functional changes are expected from this commit.

At least the ACS case of an attempt to pick a 40 MHz channel on the 2.4
GHz band could fail if HE was enabled and the driver did not include
support for 40 MHz channel bandwidth on the 2.4 GHz band in HE
capabilities. This resulted in "40 MHz channel width is not supported in
2.4 GHz" message when trying to configure the channel and failure to
start the AP.
Avoid this by automatically falling back to using 20 MHz bandwidth as
part of channel parameter determination at the end of the ACS procedure.

When auto channel selection (ACS) is used for HE 40 MHz in the 2.4 GHz
band, AP sets center frequency after finding a 40 MHz channel and then
runs a scan for overlapping BSSes in neighboring channels. Upon OBSS
detection, AP should downgrade to 20 MHz bandwidth.
This was broken because allowed_ht40_channel_pair() returns true in this
case and the steps to reset center frequency are not executed causing
failure to bring interface up.
Fix the condition to allow rollback to 20 MHz.

Number of the P2P+NFC test cases have been failing every now and then
and those failures seemed to be because of having somehow managed to

GHz band, i.e., something that is clearly incorrect. The P2P check for
HT40 secondary channel is supported only on the 5 GHz band, so drop HT40

nl80211_set_4addr_mode() could fail when trying to enable 4addr mode on

failure results in disconnecting, e.g., when roaming from one backhaul
BSS to another BSS with Multi AP.

There's a chance that prior to config reload being requested a scan work
was started. As such forcing wpa_supplicant to WPA_DISCONNECTED was
removing any hints that the actual driver is busy with work. That led to
wpa_supplicant reporting "Failed to initialize AP scan" over and over
again for a few seconds (depending on driver/capabilities) until the
untracked scan finished.
Cancelling a scan isn't really a solution because there's a bunch of
scanning state bits sprinkled across wpa_supplicant structure and they
get updated as driver events actually flow in in async manner.
As far as I can tell this is only preventing unnecessary warning
messages. This doesn't seem like it was crippling any logic per se.

The chirp scan could override the scan_res_handler. This could lead to
wpa_supplicant getting stuck in a scanning state while not scanning at
all until forced to, e.g., via an explicit SCAN control command.
The condition for trigerring this problem in my testing was when
(interface_count % 3) == 2. This introduced a two second delay before
actual scan was triggered after starting the wpa_supplicant instance up.
If DPP chirping was requested fast enough, in between the queueing and
triggering, it would punt the scan request, never to be resumed again.
Chirp scan handler wouldn't resume it leaving wpa_supplicant
inadvertently idle.
