pull-request: ieee802154-next 2023-02-20
Miquel Raynal build upon his earlier work and introduced two new
features into the ieee802154 stack. Beaconing to announce existing
PAN's and passive scanning to discover the beacons and associated
PAN's. The matching changes to the userspace configuration tool
have been posted as well and will be released together with the
kernel release.
Arnd Bergmann and Dmitry Torokhov worked on converting the
at86rf230 and cc2520 drivers away from the unused platform_data
usage and towards the new gpiod API. (I had to add a revert as
Dmitry found a regression on an already pushed tree on my side).
Changes since v1 (pull request 2023-02-02)
- Netlink API extack and NLA_POLICY* usage as suggested by Jakub
- Removed always true condition found by kernel test robot
- Simplify device removal with running background job for scanning
- Fix problems with beacon sending in some cases by using the MLME
tx path

Implement the core hooks in order to provide the softMAC layer support
for sending beacons. Coordinators may be requested to send beacons in a
beacon enabled PAN in order for the other devices around to self
discover the available PANs automatically.
Changing the channels is prohibited while a beacon operation is
ongoing.
The implementation uses a workqueue triggered at a certain interval
depending on the symbol duration for the current channel and the
interval order provided.
Sending beacons in response to a BEACON_REQ frame (ie. answering active
scans) is not yet supported.
This initial patchset has no security support (llsec).

As a first strep in introducing proper PAN management and association,
we need to be able to create coordinator interfaces which might act as
coordinator or PAN coordinator.
Hence, let's add the minimum support to allow the creation of these
interfaces.
Even though the necessary logic to handle several interfaces on the same
device is added to make this future move easier, in practice only
several interfaces of type MONITOR are allowed at the same time. The
other combinations are not allowed (interface creation is possible but
only one can be opened at a time) because, with a single PHY featuring a
single set of address filters, we cannot afford handling two distinct
interfaces (with different address filters or filtering requirements):
* Having 2 NODEs, 2 COORDs or 1 NODE + 1 COORD
-> cannot work because the address filters would be different
* Having 1 MONITOR + either 1 NODE or 1 COORD
-> cannot work because the filtering levels are incompatible

While going through the whole interface opening logic in my head I was
consistently bothered by the condition checking whether there was only
one interface of type NODE/COORD opened at the same time. What actually
bothered me was the fact that in one case we would use the wpan_dev
pointer directly while in the other case we would use the sdata pointer,
making it harder to differentiate both. In practice the condition should
be straightforward to read. IMHO dropping the wpan_dev indirection
allows to clarify the check.

The current filtering level is set on the first interface up on a wpan
phy. If we support scan functionality we need to change the filtering
level on the fly on an operational phy and switching back again.
This patch will move the receive mode parameter e.g. address filter and
promiscuous mode to the drv_start() functionality to allow changing the
receive mode on an operational phy not on first ifup only. In future this
should be handled on driver layer because each hardware has it's own way
to enter a specific filtering level. However this should offer to switch
to mode IEEE802154_FILTERING_NONE and back to
IEEE802154_FILTERING_4_FRAME_FIELDS.
Only IEEE802154_FILTERING_4_FRAME_FIELDS and IEEE802154_FILTERING_NONE
are somewhat supported by current hardware. All other filtering levels
can be supported in future but will end in IEEE802154_FILTERING_NONE as
the receive part can kind of "emulate" those receive paths by doing
additional filtering routines.
There are in total three filtering levels in the code:
- the per-interface default level (should not be changed)
- the required per-interface level (mac commands may play with it)
- the actual per-PHY (hw) level that is currently in use

Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using
netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources
can occur in one of two different places.
Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor().
The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon
whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it
is safe to perform the freeing.
netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the
NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast
address lists are flushed.
netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the
netdev references all go away.
Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor()
almost universally does also a free_netdev().
This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice().
Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing
of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice()
fails.
If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside
of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But
it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor().
This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and
then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same.
However, this means that the resources that would normally be released
by netdev->destructor() will not be.
Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by
invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice()
fails.
Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks.
Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what
private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether
the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev().
netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private
resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for
free_netdev().
netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether
free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice().
Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after
ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit()
and netdev->priv_destructor().
And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke
netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev().

This patch changes the mtu size of 802.15.4 interfaces. The current
setting is the meaning of the maximum transport unit with mac header,
which is 127 bytes according 802.15.4. The linux meaning of the mtu size
field is the maximum payload of a mac frame. Like in ethernet, which is
1500 bytes.
We have dynamic length of mac frames in 802.15.4, this is why we assume
the minimum header length which is hard_header_len. This contains fc and
sequence fields. These can evaluated by driver layer without additional
checks. We currently don't support to set the FCS from userspace, so we
need to subtract this from mtu size as well.

This patch cleanups needed_headroom, needed_tailroom and hard_header_len
fields for wpan and lowpan interfaces.
For wpan interfaces the worst case mac header len should be part of
needed_headroom, currently this is set as hard_header_len, but
hard_header_len should be set to the minimum header length which xmit
call assumes and this is the minimum frame length of 802.15.4.
The hard_header_len value will check inside send callbacl of AF_PACKET
raw sockets.
For lowpan interfaces, if fragmentation isn't needed the skb will
call dev_hard_header for 802154 layer and queue it afterwards. This
happens without new skb allocation, so we need the same headroom and
tailroom lengths like 802154 inside 802154 6lowpan layer. At least we
assume as minimum header length an ipv6 header size.

The current header_ops callback structure of net device are used mostly
from 802.15.4 upper-layers. Because this callback structure is a very
generic one, which is also used by e.g. DGRAM AF_PACKET sockets, we
can't make this callback structure 802.15.4 specific which is currently
is.
I saw the smallest "constraint" for calling this callback with
dev_hard_header/dev_parse_header by AF_PACKET which assign a 8 byte
array for address void pointers. Currently 802.15.4 specific protocols
like af802154 and 6LoWPAN will assign the "struct ieee802154_addr" as
these parameters which is greater than 8 bytes. The current callback
implementation for header_ops.create assumes always a complete
"struct ieee802154_addr" which AF_PACKET can't never handled and is
greater than 8 bytes.
For that reason we introduce now a "generic" create/parse header_ops
callback which allows handling with intra-pan extended addresses only.
This allows a small use-case with AF_PACKET to send "somehow" a valid
dataframe over DGRAM.
To keeping the current dev_hard_header behaviour we introduce a similar
callback structure "wpan_dev_header_ops" which contains 802.15.4 specific
upper-layer header creation functionality, which can be called by
wpan_dev_hard_header.

checking is done by transceiver or inside xmit callback of driver layer.
If a transceiver doesn't support ARET handling the transmit
functionality ignores ack frames then, which isn't well but should not

If we currently change the mac address inside the wpan interface while
we have a lowpan interface on top of the wpan interface, the mac address
setting doesn't reach the lowpan interface. The effect would be that the
IPv6 lowpan interface has the old SLAAC address and isn't working
anymore because the lowpan interface use in internal mechanism sometimes
dev->addr which is the old mac address of the wpan interface.
This patch checks if a wpan interface belongs to lowpan interface, if
yes then we need to check if the lowpan interface is down and change the
mac address also at the lowpan interface. When the lowpan interface will
be set up afterwards, it will use the correct SLAAC address which based
on the updated mac address setting.

This patch replace the depracted IEEE802154_DEV to the new introduced
NL802154_IFTYPE_NODE types. There is a backwards compatibility to have
the identical types for both enum definitions. Also remove some inlcude
issue with "linux/nl802154.h", because the export nl_policy inside this
header it was always necessary to have an include of "net/rtnetlink.h"
before. The reason for this is more complicated. Nevertheless we removed
this now, because "linux/nl802154.h" is the depracted netlink interface.

This patch adds a new interframe spacing time handling into mac802154
layer. Interframe spacing time is a time period between each transmit.
This patch adds a high resolution timer into mac802154 and starts on
xmit complete with corresponding interframe spacing expire time if
ifs_handling is true. We make it variable because it depends if
interframe spacing time is handled by transceiver or mac802154. At the
timer complete function we wake the netdev queue again. This avoids
new frame transmit in range of interframe spacing time.
For synced driver we add no handling of interframe spacing time. This
is currently a lack of support in all synced xmit drivers. I suppose
it's working because the latency of workqueue which is needed to call
spi_sync.

This patch adds a netdev notifier for interface renaming. We have a name
attribute inside of subif data struct. This is needed to have always the
actual netdev name in sdata name attribute.

Instead of always re-lock the iflist_mtx at multiple interfaces we lock
the complete for each loop at start and at the end.

This patch move the iface unregistration into iface.c file to have
a behaviour which is similar like mac80211. Also iface handling should
be inside iface.c file only.

This patch adds a netif_running check while trying to change the address
attributes via ioctl. While netif_running is true these attributes
should be only readable.

This patch removes the setting of dev_addr on a monitor device. This
address should be zero. A monitor should only sniff and send raw frames
out. The address should be never used by upper layers and receiving
frame parsing.

This patch adds an iftype argument to the wpan_dev. This is needed to
get the interface type from netdev ieee802154_ptr. The subif data struct
can only accessible in mac802154 branch.
