41d5ce9e0b P2P: Optimize scan for GO during persistent group invocation
Scan for GO on the negotiated operating channel for few iterations
before searching on all the supported channels during persistent group
reinvocation. In addition, use the already known SSID of the group in
the scans. These optimizations reduce group formation time.

0f44ec8eba Add a reattach command for fast reassociate-back-to-same-BSS
Add "reattach" command to perform single-channel single-ssid scan
instead of full scan when trying to reconnect to the currently
"connected" network (assuming old scan results are not current enough to
skip the scan completely). This allows the scan result to come back in
much faster time. In ath9k, the scan took around 12 seconds with full
background scan, and only 0.1 second with the single-channel single-ssid
scan. Thus, take much less time for the client to re-establish
connection with the currently "connected" network.

b3253ebb73 wpa_supplicant: Complete radio works on disable event
While testing rfkill blocking of a scanning interface, it
was seen that the ongoing scan never completes. This happens
since EVENT_SCAN_RESULTS is discarded on a disabled interface.

Fix this and also other possible radio work completion issues
by removing all the radio works (including started) of the
disabled interface.

To be able to remove already started radio works, make their
callbacks be reentrant with deinit flag (when the work
is started), so each radio work should be able to handle
its own termination.

cf70d2981d wpa_supplicant: Schedule PNO on completion of ongoing sched_scan
When start PNO request comes from control interface, wpa_supplicant
should wait until ongoing sched_scan (triggered by wpa_supplicant)
gets cancelled. Issuing cancel sched_scan and start PNO scan
one after another from pno_start() would lead wpa_supplicant to clear
wps->sched_scanning flag while getting sched_scan stopped event
from driver for cancel sched_scan request. In fact, PNO scan will
be in progress in driver and wpa_s->sched_scanning will not be set
in such cases.

In addition to this change, RSSI threshold limit is passed as part of
start sched_scan request. This was previously set only in pno_start(),
but the same parameter should be available for generic sched_scan calls
as well and this can now be reached through the new PNO start sequence.

dd271857a5 Skip normal scan when PNO is already in progress
Scan request failures are observed in wpa_supplicant debug log when
Android framework starts PNO scan in driver via ctrl interface command
'set pno 1' and wpa_supplicant also tries to issue a scan request after
PNO has started in the driver.

Some drivers may reject a normal scan request when PNO is already in
progress. wpa_supplicant should consider PNO status before issuing start
scan request to the driver. Otherwise, wpa_supplicant will get failures
from driver for the scan request and it will end up rescheduling scan
request in periodic interval and get a start scan request failure for
each attempt.

In order to avoid unnecessary scan attempt when PNO scan is already
running, PNO status is checked before issuing scan request to driver.

a09ffd5f2f Fix req_scan-deplete-timeout and update eloop API for this
Commit e2f5a9889a was supposed to prevent
new scan request from pushing out the old one. However, it did not
really do that since eloop_deplete_timeout() returned 0 both for the
case where the old timeout existed (and was sooner) and if the old
timeout did not exist. It returned 1 only for the case where an old
timeout did exist and was larger than the new requested value. That case
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
modified. This allows wpa_supplicant_req_scan() to schedule a new
timeout only in the case there was no old timeout.

949938aadf Ask driver to report only new scan results if requested
If the BSS table within wpa_supplicant is flushed, request the driver to
flush its own scan result table during the next scan. This can avoid
unexpected old BSS entries showing up after BSS_FLUSH or FLUSH command
in cases where the driver may maintain its internal cache of scan
results (e.g., cfg80211 BSS table persists at least for 15 seconds).

In addition to doing this automatically on BSS_FLUSH/FLUSH, a new SCAN
command argument, only_new=1, can be used to request a manual scan
request to do same. Though, it should be noted that this maintains the
BSS table within wpa_supplicant. BSS_FLUSH followed by SCAN command can
be used to clear all BSS entries from both the driver and
wpa_supplicant.

1245503188 Restore scan_req if sta scan is rescheduled in the scan results event
On scan results event if a concurrent P2P scan was triggered previously,
scan results processing is canceled, p2p_find executed, and a new sta
scan is triggered (pending scan). However, this new sta scan does not
restore the scan_req value of the previous scan (whose scan result has
been canceled).

If we are currently connected to an AP and use ap_scan=2, the new
triggered scan will cause an associtation-without-scan in
wpa_supplicant_scan:
(ap_scan == 2 & scan_req != MANUAL_SCAN_REQ)
	=> wpa_supplicant_assoc_try()
causing an association error and a disconnection.

This patch fixes this issue by restoring the previous scan_req value.

f86d282f43 Handle legacy scan interruption of sched_scan/PNO
While starting from PNO start context, the scheduled scan was not
setting the flag wpa_s->scanning. This was resulting in the subsequent
SCAN command to proceed further and send command to nl80211/cfg80211.
The expected behavior of cancelling sched_scan was not happening here.

While sched_scan is in progress and a legacy scan comes on the
cli/socket, the sched_scan is cancelled and normal scan is allowed to
continue. However, sometimes sched_scan cancelled event comes a bit
delayed and we will send out the scan command before the wpa_s->scanning
is cleared. Instead, reschedule the incoming scan req if the
wpa_s->scanning shows that it is still in progress.

When the scan interval is changed the new interval is effective
after the old interval timer fires off one last time. This can cause
an unacceptable long delay when updating the interval.

Change this behaviour to use MIN(left of old interval, new interval)

If the driver does not support multi-channel concurrency and a virtual

current operating channel on the other virtual interface. Filter out

23270cd8f5 Restore wpa_s->scan_req if scan trigger fails
If the driver rejects the scan request while handling an external
requested scan (e.g., SCAN command on ctrl_iface), wpa_s->scan_req gets
cleared in wpa_supplicant_scan(). This can results in issues when the
scheduled re-try of the scan in one seconds trigger another call to this
function. If ap_scan==2 mode is used, this would result in new
association attempt instead of a new scan. Avoid this by restoring value
of wpa_s->scan_req in case the scan trigger fails and a new scan attempt

7a808c7eb7 P2P: Allow P2P functionality to be disabled per interface
By default, P2P is enabled globally for all virtual interfaces and this
makes wpa_supplicant include WSC and P2P IEs in Probe Request frames for
all scans even if this is for a non-P2P station connection to speed up
device discovery. If an interface is dedicated for non-P2P station mode
operations, it is now possible to disable addition of WSC and P2P IEs
into Probe Request frames with a per-interface p2p_disabled parameter.
This can be set either in the configuration file (p2p_disabled=1) or at
run time ("wpa_cli -i wlan0 set p2p_disabled 1"). Unlike the previous
mechanism ("wpa_cli p2p_set disabled 1"), the new parameter changes the
behavior only for the specified interface while other interfaces
continue to follow the global P2P enabled/disabled state.

4c490780e2 P2P: Fix pending-sta-scan processing for concurrent operation cases
If two P2P_FIND commands and a station mode SCAN command are issued in a
sequence with the second P2P_FIND and SCAN commands started before the
initial scan from the first P2P_FIND command has completed,
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.

7c865c6853 Add automatic scanning support
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.

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).

7dcdcfd68d P2P: Start GO without extra scan step
There are some corner cases, where the wpa_supplicant_req_scan() call

f049052b9e Use wpa_msg() instead of wpa_printf()
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.

5471c3434e Blacklist BSS on first failure if only a single network is enabled
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.

f47d639d49 SME: Optimize recovery from common load balancing mechanisms
When authentication or association fails when trying to connect to

been seen previously. This speeds up recovery in some of the most

2af1c18735 P2P: Scan all channels if GO is not found from common channels
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).

60b94c9819 Add preliminary background scan and roaming module design
This allows background scanning and roaming decisions to be contained in
a single place based on a defined set of notification events which will
hopefully make it easier to experiment with roaming improvements. In
addition, this allows multiple intra-ESS roaming policies to be used
(each network configuration block can configure its own bgscan module).

The beacon loss and signal strength notifications are implemented for
the bgscan API, but the actual events are not yet available from the
driver.

The included sample bgscan module ("simple") is an example of what can
be done with the new bgscan mechanism. It requests periodic background
scans when the device remains associated with an ESS and has couple of
notes on what a more advanced bgscan module could do to optimize
background scanning and roaming. The periodic scans will cause the scan
result handler to pick a better AP if one becomes available. This bgscan
module can be taken into use by adding bgscan="simple" (or
bgscan="simple:<bgscan interval in seconds>") into the network
configuration block.

cb8564b1dd dbus: add 'scanning' property
When the supplicant is connected and performs a scan, it doesn't enter
WPA_SCANNING state for various reasons.  However, external programs
still need to know that the supplicant is scanning since they may not
wish to perform certain operations during a scan (as those operations
will likely fail or yield incorrect results).  Add a 'scanning' property
and signal to the supplicant dbus interface to allow clients to
synchronize better with the supplicant when it scans.

d3a9822542 Add support for specifying subset of enabled frequencies to scan
A new network block parameter, scan_freq, can be used to specify subset
of frequencies to scan. This can speed up scanning process considerably
if it is known that only a small subset of channels is actually used in
the network. A union of configured frequencies for all enabled network
blocks is used in scan requests.

Currently, only driver_nl80211.c has support for this functionality.

For example, following parameter marks 2.4 GHz channels 1, 6, 11 to be
scanned: scan_freq=2412 2437 2462

Since the nl80211 interface needed for this is very recent (added

compatibility code that uses WEXT for association if the kernel does
not support the new commands. This compatibility code can be

If the driver reports support for more than one SSID per scan request,
optimize scan_ssid=1 operations in ap_scan=1 mode. This speeds up
scanning whenever scan_ssid=1 is used since the broadcast SSID can be
included in every scan request and if driver supports more than two
SSIDs in the scan request, the benefits are even larger when multiple
networks have been configured with ap_scan=1.

This is also cleaning up wpa_supplicant_scan() function by moving code
around so that the SSID list is not processed unnecessarily if the
operation mode does not need this.
