[PATCH v4 02/16] Driver: Introduce key_types and Extended Key ID driver flag

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add the new driver flag WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_EXTENDED_KEY_ID and
the key_types designated to replace and extend the use of the existing
set_tx boolean in all set_key() functions.

Both changes are required as foundation for the Extended Key ID support
and later patches will build on it.

The new - so far unused - key_types are:

  KEY_TYPE_BROADCAST
    To be set when installing a broadcast key which is not also a default
    key. (This basically replaces set_tx=0)

  KEY_TYPE_DEFAULT
    To be set when installing a WEP or a group key without pairwise
    keys. Must not be used when pairwise keys are used. Never set when
    deleting a key. (This basically replaces set_tx=1)

  KEY_TYPE_PAIRWISE:
    Used to distinguish pairwise from broadcast keys. (This is needed
    since Extended Key ID can use keyidx=1 both as pairwise and group
    keys and we need an additional hint to distinguish between them.)

  KEY_TYPE_NO_AUTO_TX
    To be set when installing a pairwise key which must not be used for
    Tx, yet. (New requirement for Extended Key ID support.)

  KEY_TYPE_SET_TX
    To be set when activating Tx for a key already installed with
    KEY_TYPE_NO_AUTO_TX. (Also required for Extended Key ID support.)

This could be split up in more patches to clearly differentiate between
"set_tx cleanup" and "Extended Key ID support".
But then I think having the key_types all in one patch is simpler to
follow and it looks silly to then just have a patch for adding
WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_EXTENDED_KEY_ID...

I started out using key_flags instead an enum here. But after getting it
working it turned out that there simply is no useful case where we would
have to set more than one bit. If someone sees a better and less
invasive way we can of course do that. (In the RFC version I morphed
- incompeltly - set_tx to key_flags but that was just a half-step. See
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/hostap/list/?series=75270)
