p2p_ignore_shared_freq=1 in the configuration file (or "SET
p2p_ignore_shared_freq 1" on control interface) can now be used to
configure wpa_supplicant to ignore the preference on shared operating
channel when the driver support multi-channel concurrency. The default
behavior is to try to start any new P2P group on an operating channel
that is already in use on another virtual interface to avoid extra cost
from hopping between multiple channels. If this new parameter is set to
1, such preference is not used and instead, the channel for the new P2P
group is selected based on other preferences while ignoring operating
channels of any concurrent connection.

Instead of using atoi(), use strtol() which allows checking if
the configuration values are valid integers and can understand
more than just decimal (also hexadecimal and octal). This not
only allows specifying some fields in hex (which can be useful)
but also rejecting invalid configurations, e.g.,
disassoc_low_ack=27 * 2
which was previously read as just 27.

beacon_int (in TU) can now be used to configure Beacon interval for AP
mode operations (including P2P GO) in wpa_supplicant. This can be set
either in a network block or as a global parameter in the configuration
file (or with "SET beacon_int <value>" control interface command) to
apply for all networks that do not include the beacon_int parameter to
override the default.
In addition, this commits extends the dtim_period parameter to be
available as a global parameter to set the default value. dtim_period is
now stored in the configuration file, too, if it was set.

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.

When specified in the conf file this parameter will make all invocations

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.

auto_interworking=1 configuration parameter can be used to request

There is no need to mandate admission control (ACM=1) by default, so
clear that flag in the case the configuration file does not specify
wmm_ac_{vo,vi}_acm value. This gets closer to the values mentioned
in the sample hostapd.conf file and reduces the need to specify WMM
parameters in the configuration file for most common use cases.
Signed-hostap: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>
In case of P2P GO and AP mode, wpa_supplicant uses the default hostapd
parameters for WMM. In the default parameters the ACM bit for video and
voice are set to 1, meaning, P2P devices and stations which are
connected to the GO cannot pass voice or video data packets. Allow this
to be changed through wpa_supplicant configuration file with wmm_ac_*
parameters.

This enables setting a different max inactivity timeout for P2P GO.
This timeout is used to detect inactive clients. In some scenarios
it may be useful to have control over this and set a shorter timeout
than the default 300s. For example when running STA and P2P GO interfaces
concurrently, the STA interface may perform scans which may cause the
GO to miss a disassoc / deauth frames from a client and keep assuming
that the client is connected until the inactivity detection kicks in.
300 secs is a bit too long for such scenarios and creates a bad user
experience.

Each cred block can now be matched based on Roaming Consortium OI as an

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