Dmitry Lebed 37547ad63c wpa_supplicant: Increase authentication timeout if CAC is started
Timeout is increased by dfs_cac_ms from channel data, or by max CAC time
(10 minutes) if dfs_cac_ms is not defined. This is needed for some more
complex cases, e.g., when STA is acting as an active slave with DFS
offload enabled and decided to start CAC after receiving CONNECT
command, in such a case the 10 second timeout is too small and
wpa_supplicant need to wait for CAC completion or CAC timeout (up to 10
minutes).

Without such timeout modification wpa_supplicant will be unable to
connect to an AP on DFS channel, since the default authentication
timeout (10 s) is smaller than the minimum CAC time (60 s).

Tested with nl80211 DFS offload implementation.

Explicitly check the PMKSA cache entry to have matching SAE AKMP for the

authentication. Previously, only the network context was checked, but a
single network configuration profile could be used with both WPA2-PSK

Beniamino Galvani 77a020a118 wpa_supplicant: Fix auth failure when the MAC is updated externally
When connecting to a WPA-EAP network and the MAC address is changed
just before the association (for example by NetworkManager, which sets
a random MAC during scans), the authentication sometimes fails in the
following way ('####' logs added by me):

 WPA: Send EAPOL(version=1 secure=0 mic=0 ack=1 install=0 pairwise=1 kde_len=22 keyidx=0 encr=0)

That's because wpa_supplicant computed the PMKID using the wrong (old)
MAC address used during the scan. wpa_supplicant updates own_addr when
the interface goes up, as the MAC can only change while the interface
is down. However, drivers don't report all interface state changes:
for example the nl80211 driver may ignore a down-up cycle if the down
message is processed later, when the interface is already up. In such
cases, wpa_supplicant (and in particular, the EAP state machine) would
continue to use the old MAC.

Add a new driver event that notifies of MAC address changes while the
interface is active.

Jouni Malinen a0bf1b68c0 Remove all PeerKey functionality
This was originally added to allow the IEEE 802.11 protocol to be
tested, but there are no known fully functional implementations based on
this nor any known deployments of PeerKey functionality. Furthermore,
PeerKey design in the IEEE Std 802.11-2016 standard has already been
marked as obsolete for DLS and it is being considered for complete
removal in REVmd.

This implementation did not really work, so it could not have been used
in practice. For example, key configuration was using incorrect
algorithm values (WPA_CIPHER_* instead of WPA_ALG_*) which resulted in
mapping to an invalid WPA_ALG_* value for the actual driver operation.
As such, the derived key could not have been successfully set for the
link.

Since there are bugs in this implementation and there does not seem to
be any future for the PeerKey design with DLS (TDLS being the future for
DLS), the best approach is to simply delete all this code to simplify
the EAPOL-Key handling design and to get rid of any potential issues if
these code paths were accidentially reachable.

roam to an AP that has better signal strength, but smaller estimated

GHz band in cases where 2.4 GHz band has significantly higher signal
strength, but still a lower throughput estimate.

Make this less likely to happen by increasing/reducing the minimum
required signal strength difference based on the estimated throughputs
of the current and selected AP. In addition, add more details about the
selection process to the debug log to make it easier to determine whaty
happened and why.

Avraham Stern e3e2fe3a42 Always propagate scan results to all interfaces
Scan results were not propagated to all interfaces if scan results
started a new operation, in order to prevent concurrent operations. But
this can cause other interfaces to trigger a new scan when scan results
are already available. Instead, always notify other interfaces of the
scan results, but note that new operations are not allowed.

Avraham Stern 14f34a7303 Continue scanning if sched_scan stops unexpectedly
When scheduled scan stops without the interface request (for example,
driver stopped it unexpectedly), start a regular scan to continue
scanning for networks and avoid being left with no scan at all.

David Spinadel 1ac388633a Remove disconnected APs from BSS table if likely out-of-range
In some cases, after a sudden AP disappearing and reconnection to
another AP in the same ESS, if another scan occurs, wpa_supplicant might
try to roam to the old AP (if it was better ranked than the new one)
because it is still saved in BSS list and the blacklist entry was
cleared in previous reconnect. This attempt is going to fail if the AP
is not present anymore and it'll cause long disconnections.

Remove an AP that is probably out of range from the BSS list to avoid
such disconnections. In particular mac80211-based drivers use the
WLAN_REASON_DISASSOC_DUE_TO_INACTIVITY reason code in locally generated
disconnection events for cases where the AP does not reply anymore.
