SM Power Save was described in somewhat unclear manner in IEEE Std
802.11n-2009 as far the use of it locally in an AP to save power. That
was clarified in IEEE Std 802.11-2016 to allow only a non-AP STA to use
SMPS while the AP is required to support an associated STA doing so. The
AP itself cannot use SMPS locally and the HT Capability advertisement
for this is not appropriate.
Remove the parts of SMPS support that involve the AP using it locally.
In practice, this reverts the following commits:
04ee647d58 ("HT: Let the driver advertise its supported SMPS modes for AP mode")
8f461b50cf ("HT: Pass the smps_mode in AP parameters")
da1080d721 ("nl80211: Advertise and configure SMPS modes")

Avoid adding more than P2P_MAX_REG_CLASSES operating classes or
P2P_MAX_REG_CLASS_CHANNELS channels while populating P2P channels. The
current limits on the operating classes or channels per operating class
could be hit in some case (mainly, with 6 GHz, but in theory, with a
2.4/5/60 GHz capable device as well).
If the local driver advertised a larger number of supported operarting
classes or channels per operating class, the construction of the struct
p2p_reg_class instances could have resulted in writing beyond the end of
the buffer and ending up corrupting memory around the struct p2p_config.
This could result in unexpected behavior in some other operations that
used corrupted memory, e.g., generation of a P2P Channel List failing
(with validation code stopping the process to avoid writing beyond the
end of the message buffer) due to not having sufficient buffer space for
the corrupted data.
This issue is triggered only based on information from the local driver
(mainly based on addition of support for 6 GHz band operating classes),
so the issue cannot be triggered based on received frames or any other
remote information.
The issue was introduced by commit d7c2c5c98c ("AP: Add initial
support for 6 GHz band") which added the operating class 131 which has
sufficiently large number of channels to go beyond the
P2P_MAX_REG_CLASS_CHANNELS limit.

Previously it was possible for the PKEX/DPP exchange to terminate with
an error and the ongoing Action frame TX/RX offchannel operation not
getting terminated. This could leave the driver waiting on offchannel
until timeout and failing following operations before that timeout
happens. Fix this by explicitly stopping the Action frame sequence in
the driver in the previously missed cases.
This fixes a case that was showing up with the following test sequence
every now and then:
dpp_qr_code_chan_list_unicast dpp_pkex_test_fail dpp_enrollee_reject_config
dpp_pkex_test_fail was adding a large number of pending offchannel
operations and dpp_enrollee_reject_config could fail if those pending
operations were blocking new remain-on-channel or offchannel TX
operation for a sufficiently long time.

connection_vht flag was set to true when both Association Request and
Response frame IEs have VHT capability. Thus all devices that have
support for the vendor specific partial VHT support in the 2.4 GHz band
were also being reported as VHT capable. However, IEEE Std 802.11ac-2013
defines VHT STA to operate in frequency bands below 6 GHz excluding the
2.4 GHz band.
Do not set connection_vht when the operating band is 2.4 GHz. This
avoids reporting wifi_generation 5 on the 2.4 GHz band and reserves the
generation value 5 for full VHT as defined in the IEEE 802.11 standard.

A driver supports FT if it either supports SME or the
NL80211_CMD_UPDATE_FT_IES command. When selecting AKM suites,
wpa_supplicant currently doesn't take into account whether or not either
of those conditions are met. This can cause association failures, e.g.,
when an AP supports both WPA-EAP and FT-EAP but the driver doesn't
support FT (wpa_supplicant will decide to do FT-EAP since it is unaware
the driver doesn't support it). This change allows an FT suite to be
selected only when the driver also supports FT.

Add the new set_key() parameter "key_flag" to provide more specific
description of what type of a key is being configured. This is needed to
be able to add support for "Extended Key ID for Individually Addressed
Frames" from IEEE Std 802.11-2016. In addition, this may be used to
replace the set_tx boolean eventually once all the driver wrappers have
moved to using the new key_flag.
The following flag are defined:
KEY_FLAG_MODIFY
Set when an already installed key must be updated.
So far the only use-case is changing RX/TX status of installed
keys. Must not be set when deleting a key.
KEY_FLAG_DEFAULT
Set when the key is also a default key. Must not be set when
deleting a key. (This is the replacement for set_tx.)
KEY_FLAG_RX
The key is valid for RX. Must not be set when deleting a key.
KEY_FLAG_TX
The key is valid for TX. Must not be set when deleting a key.
KEY_FLAG_GROUP
The key is a broadcast or group key.
KEY_FLAG_PAIRWISE
The key is a pairwise key.
KEY_FLAG_PMK
The key is a Pairwise Master Key (PMK).
Predefined and needed flag combinations so far are:
KEY_FLAG_GROUP_RX_TX
WEP key not used as default key (yet).
KEY_FLAG_GROUP_RX_TX_DEFAULT
Default WEP or WPA-NONE key.
KEY_FLAG_GROUP_RX
GTK key valid for RX only.
KEY_FLAG_GROUP_TX_DEFAULT
GTK key valid for TX only, immediately taking over TX.
KEY_FLAG_PAIRWISE_RX_TX
Pairwise key immediately becoming the active pairwise key.
KEY_FLAG_PAIRWISE_RX
Pairwise key not yet valid for TX. (Only usable with Extended Key ID
support.)
KEY_FLAG_PAIRWISE_RX_TX_MODIFY
Enable TX for a pairwise key installed with KEY_FLAG_PAIRWISE_RX.
KEY_FLAG_RX_TX
Not a valid standalone key type and can only used in combination
with other flags to mark a key for RX/TX.
This commit is not changing any functionality. It just adds the new
key_flag to all hostapd/wpa_supplicant set_key() functions without using

Linux kernel v4.17 added the ability to request sending control port
frames via nl80211 instead of a normal network socket. Doing this
provides the device driver with ordering information between the
control port frames and the installation of keys. This empowers it to
avoid race conditions between, for example, PTK replacement and the
sending of frame 4 of the 4-way rekeying handshake in an RSNA. The
key difference between a TX_CONTROL_PORT and normal socket send is
that the device driver will certainly get any EAPOL frames comprising
a 4-way handshake before it gets the key installation call
for the derived key. By flushing its TX buffers it can then ensure
that no pending EAPOL frames are inadvertently encrypted with a key
that the peer will not yet have installed.
Update the RSN supplicant system to use this new operation for sending
EAPOL-Key frames when the driver reports that this capability is
available; otherwise, fall back to a normal Ethernet TX.
I have tested this on DMG (11ad/ay) devices with an out-of-tree Linux
driver that does not use mac80211. Without this patch I consistently see
PTK rekeying fail if message 4/4 shares a stream with other in-flight
traffic. With this patch, and the driver updated to flush the relevant TX
queue before overwriting a PTK (knowing, now, that if there was a message
4/4 related to the key installation, it has already entered the driver
queue), rekeying is reliable.
There is still data loss surrounding key installation - this problem is
alluded to in IEEE Std 802.11-2016, 12.6.21, where extended Key ID
support is described as the eventual solution. This patch aims to at
least prevent rekeying from totally breaking the association, in a way
that works on kernels as far back as 4.17 (as per Alexander Wetzel
extended Key ID support should be possible on 5.2).

Linux kernel v4.17 added the ability to request sending controlled port
frames (e.g., IEEE 802.1X controlled port EAPOL frames) via nl80211
instead of a normal network socket. Doing this provides the device
driver with ordering information between the control port frames and the
installation of keys. This empowers it to avoid race conditions between,
for example, PTK replacement and the sending of frame 4 of the 4-way
rekeying handshake in an RSNA. The key difference between the specific
control port and normal socket send is that the device driver will
certainly get any EAPOL frames comprising a 4-way handshake before it
gets the key installation call for the derived key. By flushing its TX
buffers it can then ensure that no pending EAPOL frames are
inadvertently encrypted with a key that the peer will not yet have
installed.
Add a CONTROL_PORT flag to the hostap driver API to report driver
capability for using a separate control port for EAPOL frames. This
operation is exactly like an Ethernet send except for the extra ordering
information it provides for device drivers. The nl80211 driver is
updated to support this operation when the device reports support for
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CONTROL_PORT_OVER_NL80211. Also add a driver op
tx_control_port() for request a frame to be sent over the controlled

This is targeting the case of MAC address change for an association
which may require the interface to be set down for a short moment.
Previously, this ended up flushing the BSS table that wpa_supplicant
maintained and that resulted in having to scan again if the MAC address
was changed between the previous scan and the connection attempt. This
is unnecessary extra latency, so maintain the BSS entries for 5 seconds
(i.e., the same time that the old scan results are consider valid for a
new connection attempt) after an interface goes down.

Currently, wpa_supplicant may roam too aggressively; the need_to_roam()
function will return early with a roaming decision if the difference in
signal level or throughput between the current and selected APs is
"sufficiently large." In particular, if the selected AP's estimated
throughput is more than 5k greater than the current AP's estimated
throughput, wpa_supplicant will decide to roam. Otherwise, if the
selected AP's signal level is less than the current AP's signal level,
or the selected AP's estimated throughput is at least 5k less than the
current AP's estimated throughput, wpa_supplicant will skip the roam.
These decisions are based only on one factor and can lead to poor
roaming choices (e.g., a roam should not happen if the selected AP's
estimated throughput meets the threshold but the current signal and
throughput are already good, whereas a roam should happen if the signal
is slightly worse but the estimated throughput is significantly better).
This change standardizes the roaming heuristic for signal strength
difference requirements and will hopefully improve user experience. The
change can be summarized as follows: based on the current signal level,
a certain roaming difficulty is assigned. Based on the selected AP's
estimated throughput relative to the current AP's estimated throughput,
the difficulty is adjusted up or down. If the difference in signal level
meets the threshold, a roam happens.
The hard-coded values were selected purely based on the previous version
of this function. They may eventually need to be fine-tuned for optimal
performance.

Using average signal strength from the driver and hardcoded noise floor
does not look like an ideal design since there can be significant
differences in the driver-reported noise floor values. Furthermore, even
though the current noise floor is a snapshot from the driver, it is
common for drivers to use a noise floor value from a longer calibration
step and that should not prevent the driver provided value from being
used. This makes the comparisons of the signal strengths between the
current AP (signal_poll) and other APs (scan) more accurate.
As an example, test runs in home environment showed 5 dB difference
between the driver reported noise floor and the hardcoded value and this
could result in significant differences in estimated throughput
calculation.

We saw that on certain platforms in certain places we keep switching
between two APs and eventually get the same RSSI. Debugging showed that
we have a very big difference between the two antennas.
Ant A can hear AP A very well (-60) but AP B very bad (-80)
Ant B can hear AP B very well (-60) but AP A very bad (-80)
When the device associates to AP A, it'll learn to use Ant A. If the
device uses one single antenna to receive the scan results, it may hear
the AP it is currently associated to on the second antenna and get bad
results. Because of that, the wpa_supplicant will roam to the other AP
and the same scenario will repeat itself:
Association to AP A (Ant A reports -60).
Scan on Ant A: AP A: -60, AP B: -80
Scan on Ant B: AP A: -80, AP A: -60 ==> ROAM.
Association to AP B (Ant B reports -60)
Scan on Ant A: AP A: -60, AP B: -80 ==> ROAM
Etc...
Improve this by querying the signal level of the current AP using
drv_signal_poll() instead of relying on the signal level that we get
from the scan results. Also update the throughput estimate based on the
likely more accurate values for the current association.
