Jouni Malinen 5e3a759cd4 SAE: Improved queuing policy for pending authentication frames
The previous design of simply queuing all SAE commit messages was not
exactly good at allowing recovery from a flooding state if the valid
peer used frequent retransmissions of the SAE message. This could
happen, e.g., with mesh BSSs using SAE. The frequent retransmissions and
restarts of SAE authentication combined with SAE confirm messages
bypassing the queue ended up in not being able to finish SAE exchange
successfully.

Fix this by modifying the queuing policy to queue SAE confirm messages
if there is a queued SAE commit message from the same peer so that the
messages within the same exchange do not get reordered. In addition,
replace queued SAE commit/confirm message if a new matching message is
received from the same peer STA. This is useful for the case where the
peer restarts SAE more quickly than the local end has time to process
the queued messages.

file for more instructions.


This package may include either wpa_supplicant, hostapd, or both. See
README file respective subdirectories (wpa_supplicant/README or
hostapd/README) for more details.

Source code files were moved around in v0.6.x releases and compared to
earlier releases, the programs are now built by first going to a
subdirectory (wpa_supplicant or hostapd) and creating build
configuration (.config) and running 'make' there (for Linux/BSD/cygwin
builds).
