Change the nl80211 driver in wpa_supplicant to correctly handle
connecting to a new AP through cfg80211 without SME capability. As
before, the driver will disconnect from the previously associated AP,
but now we attempt to immediately connect to our intended AP. This
prevents us from blacklisting the AP we were trying to connect to
because of a semantic mismatch between cfg80211 and wpa_supplicant. The
disconnect/connect patch generates a local disconnect nl80211 event
which we discard because we're already correctly tracking the pending
association request.
In detail:
cfg80211 does not support connecting to a new BSS while already
connected to another BSS, if the underlying driver doesn't support
separate authenticate and associate commands. wpa_supplicant is written
to expect that this is a supported operation, except for a little error
handling that disconnects from the current BSS when roaming fails and
relies on autoconnect logic to reconnect later. However, this failure to
connect is incorrectly attributed to the new AP we attempted to
associate with, rather than a local condition in cfg80211.
The combined effect of these two conditions is that full-mac drivers
accessible through cfg80211 but without SME capability take a long time
to roam across BSS's because wpa_supplicant will:
1) Fail to associate for local reasons
2) Disconnect and return that the association request failed
3) Blacklist the association target (incorrectly)
4) Do a scan
5) Pick a less desirable AP to associate with

This allows both hostapd and wpa_supplicant to be used to derive and
configure keys for GCMP. This is quite similar to CCMP key
configuration, but a different cipher suite and somewhat different rules
are used in cipher selection. It should be noted that GCMP is not
included in default parameters at least for now, so explicit
pairwise/group configuration is needed to enable it. This may change in
the future to allow GCMP to be selected automatically in cases where
CCMP could have been used.
This commit does not included changes to WPS or P2P to allow GCMP to be
used.

Use the NL80211_IFACE_COMB_NUM_CHANNELS value > 1 as a trigger for

Commit a11241fa11 removed the 802.11b rate
enabling/disabling code from wpa_driver_nl80211_set_mode() and while
doing that, removed the only place where drv->disabled_11b_rates was
set. Fix this by updating the flag in nl80211_disable_11b_rates(). In
addition, re-enable the 802.11b rates when changing to non-P2P mode.
Signed-hostap: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>
Right now 11b rates are masked out while creating a P2P interface,
but this is always failing as the interface is down. Most drivers
allow to configure rates only when the interface is UP and running.
So let us disable 11b rates when interface type is changed into a
P2P type and it is UP and running.

When sending an offchannel frame (mainly, P2P Invitation Request), the
wait_time parameter was hardcoded to 0 for drivers that implement AP
mode SME. This is not correct and can cause problems for drivers that
support offloading of off-channel operations with driver/firmware based
AP SME.

This was previously indicated as disassociation, but the P2P group
session ending case expect a deauthentication notification. Since the
cfg80211 disconnection event does not really indicate which frame was
used, the easiest approach for now seems to be to just indicate these
as deauthentication events.

On P2P group removal, the GO is deinitialized correctly (and the vif
mode is set back to sta in case of nl80211), but the P2P client mode
wasn't deinitialized, and the nl80211 vif stays in P2P client mode.
Add a new deinit_p2p_cli op (similar to deinit_ap), which currently only
sets the interface back to station mode.

The signal strength is currently never used as the only driver reporting
it is nl80211 which uses IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_DB_ANTSIGNAL which is never
populated by the kernel. The kernel will (soon) populate
IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_DBM_ANTSIGNAL instead though, so use that.
Also, since it was never really populated, we can redefine the signal
field to be in dBm units only.
My next patch will also require knowing the signal strength of probe
requests throughout the code (where available), so add it to the
necessary APIs.

When drivers advertise their capability to free up inactive
stations based on ap_max_inactivity, send the inactivity period
timeout to driver in NL80211_ATTR_INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT. This

so that the inactivity period will be sent only when this capability
bit is set.

When the driver (or firmware) implements AP mode SME, the use of raw
management frame TX functions is not working properly at the moment. As
an initial step, convert these AP mode operations to use
NL80211_CMD_DEL_STATION and do not claim that driver provides TX status
for deauth/disassoc frames. While this does not address all use cases
(e.g., reason code is not specified in the command), this fixes number
of issues where the station does not get disconnected properly.

It looks like a RTM_NEWLINK event claiming the interface to be UP is
delivered just before removing an interface after having first indicated

removed did not get reconfigured properly.

triggered only on the first_bss, bss->freq for other BSSes is never

A P2P Action frame may need to be sent on another channel than the GO's

The cookie value needs to be fetched in GO mode, too, to be able to
indicate TX status callbacks with drivers that handle AP mode SME
functionality internally. This fixes issues with client discoverability
where TX status callback for GO Discoverability Request is needed to
trigger the GO to send Device Discoverability Response.
The deauthentication and disassociation events from nl80211 were being
processed identically regardless of whether the frame was generated by
the local STA or the AP. This resulted in fast reconnection mechanism
getting triggered even in the case where the disconnection was detected
locally (e.g., due to beacon loss) while this was supposed to happen
only in the case where the AP is sending an explicit Deauthentication
or Disassociation frame with a specific reason code.
Fix this by adding a new deauth/disassoc event variable to indicate
whether the event was generated locally.
