[RESEND PATCH 00/10] mesh: support for DFS

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

 



This series is based on the remaining patches from Peter Oh's previous series
and is build on top of my previous series
"v3: Fix and unify wpa_supplicant AP/mesh frequency setup".

Masashi Honma previously reported memory leaks when running the
esh_secure_ocv_mix_legacy test. I was not able to reproduce this, with my
patch series.

My additional patches contain the following changes:

(1) Issue:
    MESH_GROUP_STARTED gets send before DFS-CAC finishes

    Suggested fix:
    Send MESH_GROUP_STARTED in mesh join completion callback, which happens
    after CAC, if CAC is necessary. Additional, this patch implements a TODO,
    which always leaves the mesh on deinit. In order for this to work, some
    additional cleanup bool flags are added.

(2) Issue:
    Unsuccessfull channel switch -> hostapd calls deinit and init without
                                    wpa_supplicant taking notice

    Suggested fix:
    add init/deinit callbacks and use them in wpa_supplicant mesh code

(3) Add simple DFS test for wpa_supplicant

(4) Issue:
    mesh_oom test fails at allocation failure after 11 allocations

    TESTING: fail allocation at wpa_supplicant_mesh_init
    backtrace[0] = testing_fail_alloc
    backtrace[1] = os_malloc
    backtrace[2] = os_realloc
    backtrace[3] = phy_info_band
    backtrace[4] = phy_info_handler
    backtrace[5] = send_and_recv
    backtrace[6] = send_and_recv_msgs
    backtrace[7] = nl80211_get_hw_feature_data
    backtrace[8] = hostapd_get_hw_feature_data
    backtrace[9] = hostapd_get_hw_features
    backtrace[10] = setup_interface2
    backtrace[11] = setup_interface
    backtrace[12] = hostapd_setup_interface
    backtrace[13] = wpa_supplicant_mesh_init
    backtrace[14] = wpa_supplicant_join_mesh
    backtrace[15] = wpa_supplicant_associate

    If hostapd_get_hw_features fails, ifmsh->freq is not set (0), which leads
    to a call to hostapd_set_freq_params with this zero frequency.
    Afterwards, mesh join fails, because freq 0 should be joined.

    Suggested fix:
    Only change the freq params, if we know the old frequency.

Markus Theil (4):
  mesh: fixes for mesh init/deinit
  mesh: fix DFS deinit/init
  tests: DFS test for wpa_supplicant mesh
  mesh: fix mesh_oom test

Peter Oh (6):
  mesh: use setup completion callback to complete mesh join
  mesh: update ssid->frequency as pri/sec channel switch
  mesh: Allow DFS channels to be selected if dfs is enabled
  mesh: do not set offchanok on DFS channels in non-ETSI
  mesh: fix channel switch error during CAC
  mesh: inform kernel driver DFS handler in userspace
