wpa_supplicant与kernel交互

wpa_supplicant与kernel交互的操作，一般需要先明确驱动接口，以及用户态和kernel态的接口函数，以此来进行调用操作。这里分为4个步骤讨论。

1.首先需要明确指定的驱动接口。因为有较多的驱动接口可以使用，如wext、nl80211等。指定了之后，才能调用相应接口的方法。

2.保存驱动接口

3.接口函数的实现(分为用户态和kernel态)。系统已经定义了，我们只需找到定义的地方，了解有哪些函数。

4.交互

(a)用户态向kernel态发送请求(通过ioctl)

(b)kernel态向用户态发送事件通知(通过netlink)

1.首先需要明确指定的驱动接口

(1)查看init.XX.rc中指定的driver的命令参数；

(2)根据命令参数，在wpa_driver_ops *wpa_drivers[] 中查找对应接口。

wpa_drivers[]的定义是在[-->external/wpa_supplicant_8/src/drivers/drivers.c]

2.保存驱动接口

在wpa_supplicant初始化过程中，在wpa_supplicant_init_iface方法中会调用wpa_supplicant_set_driver方法。该方法中又会调用select_driver方法。

static int select_driver(struct wpa_supplicant *wpa_s, int i) {     struct wpa_global *global = wpa_s->global; if (wpa_drivers[i]->global_init && global->drv_priv[i] == NULL) {      //调用global_init方法，这与driver选择wext调用的流程不同了         global->drv_priv[i] = wpa_drivers[i]->global_init();         if (global->drv_priv[i] == NULL) {             wpa_printf(MSG_ERROR, "Failed to initialize driver "                     "‘%s‘", wpa_drivers[i]->name);              return -1;         }     }   // 根据name进行匹配，并最后保存到wpa_supplicant->dirver中     wpa_s->driver = wpa_drivers[i];     wpa_s->global_drv_priv = global->drv_priv[i];     return 0; }

3.接口操作函数实现

ps：driver_cmd用于处理DRIVER的命令，调用流程如下：

wpa_supplicant_ctrl_iface_process-> (根据命令字符串调用对应的函数) wpa_supplicant_driver_cmd-> wpa_drv_driver_cmd-> wpa_s->driver->driver_cmd-> wpa_driver_nl80211_driver_cmd -> (User) ... cfg80211...

3.2 kernel态实现

Kernel态实现的操作函数，实现代码见：net/wireless/wext-compat.c

4.用户态和kernel态交互

4.1初始化

首先说明下用户态和kernel态交互的方式，如下所述：

a.用户态向kernel态发送请求时，通过ioctl来实现

b.kernel态向用户态发送事件通知，通过netlink实现

交互的初始化有两部分组成:nl80211_global_init和wpa_driver_nl80211_init方法。以上a/b两点中ioctl和netlink是在nl80211_global_init方法中创建。

(1) nl80211_global_init方法

因为在”2.保存驱动接口”，select_driver方法中调用了global_init方法(会根据用户态的结构体wpa_driver_nl80211_ops中查找对应方法，即nl80211_global_init)。

static void * nl80211_global_init(void) {     struct nl80211_global *global;     struct netlink_config *cfg;     global = os_zalloc(sizeof(*global));     if (global == NULL)         return NULL;     global->ioctl_sock = -1;     dl_list_init(&global->interfaces);     global->if_add_ifindex = -1;     cfg = os_zalloc(sizeof(*cfg));      if (cfg == NULL)         goto err;     cfg->ctx = global;     cfg->newlink_cb = wpa_driver_nl80211_event_rtm_newlink;     cfg->dellink_cb = wpa_driver_nl80211_event_rtm_dellink;     global->netlink = netlink_init(cfg); //初始化netlink,并注册事件接收函数      if (global->netlink == NULL) {              os_free(cfg);         goto err;     }       if (wpa_driver_nl80211_init_nl_global(global) < 0)                                                                                                                            goto err; // 此global->ioctl_sock用作为ioctl命令的fd     global->ioctl_sock = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);     if (global->ioctl_sock < 0) {               perror("socket(PF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM)");         goto err;     }       return global; err:     nl80211_global_deinit(global);     return NULL; }

在nl80211_global_init方法中，有两条关键语句：

(a) // 初始化netlink,并注册事件接收函数  global->netlink = netlink_init(cfg);  (b) // 此global->ioctl_sock用作为ioctl命令的fd global->ioctl_sock = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);

分析以上两句：

(a)netlink_init方法中创建了一个socket，并添加到eloop_run方法中的rfds中。用于从kernel态发送事件给用户态

netlink->sock = socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_ROUTE); ...... eloop_register_read_sock(netlink->sock, netlink_receive, netlink,NULL);

(b)该socket用于从用户态发送请求给kernel态

(2)wpa_driver_nl80211_init方法

在wpa_supplicant_init_iface方法中有语句：

if (wpa_supplicant_set_driver(wpa_s, driver) < 0)     return -1; wpa_s->drv_priv = wpa_drv_init(wpa_s, wpa_s->ifname);

在设置完驱动后，会调用wpa_drv_init方法，其方法体中会调用init2方法，即wpa_driver_nl80211_init。该方法用来Initialize nl80211 driver interface.

4.2 用户态和kernel态交互之ioctl实现

在用户态可简单执行一个ioctl(fd,cmd,...)命令即可。

先看下socket.c文件

/*  *  Socket files have a set of ‘special‘ operations as well as the generic file ones. These don‘t appear in the operation structures but are done directly via the socketcall() multiplexor.  */ static const struct file_operations socket_file_ops = {     .owner =    THIS_MODULE,     .llseek =   no_llseek,     .aio_read = sock_aio_read,     .aio_write =    sock_aio_write,     .poll =     sock_poll,     .unlocked_ioctl = sock_ioctl, // 这个就是被执行的ioctl  #ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT     .compat_ioctl = compat_sock_ioctl, #endif     .mmap =     sock_mmap,     .open =     sock_no_open,   /* special open code to disallow open via /proc */     .release =  sock_close,     .fasync =   sock_fasync,     .sendpage = sock_sendpage,     .splice_write = generic_splice_sendpage,     .splice_read =  sock_splice_read, };

从用户态调用sock_ioctl到kernel态调用iw_handler的执行流程如下：

sock_ioctl-> (kernel/net/socket.c)   dev_ioctl-> (kernel/net/core/dev.c)     下面的方法都在/net/wireless/wext-core.c中     wext_handle_ioctl-> (把执行结果从kernel态copy到用户态)       wext_ioctl_dispatch->(参数包括cmd/ioctl_standard_call/ioctl_private_call)         wireless_process_ioctl->           get_handler->  (根据cmd来判断调用standard或是private，即ioctl_standard_call或是ioctl_private_call方法)       ioctl_standard_call (执行cmd指定的iw_handler<cfg80211_handlers中定义的>，并返回结果)

这样就完成了”通过ioctl，用户态向kernel态发送请求”。

这个流程的代码稍后贴出。

sock_ioctl dev_ioctl wext_handle_ioctl wext_ioctl_dispatch wireless_process_ioctl ioctl_standard_call

4.3 用户态和kernel态交互之netlink实现

首先看netlink_init方法

struct netlink_data * netlink_init(struct netlink_config *cfg)                                                                                                            {     struct netlink_data *netlink;       struct sockaddr_nl local;      netlink = os_zalloc(sizeof(*netlink));     if (netlink == NULL)         return NULL;     netlink->cfg = cfg;     netlink->sock = socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_ROUTE);                                                                                                              if (netlink->sock < 0) {         wpa_printf(MSG_ERROR, "netlink: Failed to open netlink "                "socket: %s", strerror(errno));         netlink_deinit(netlink);                return NULL;     }     os_memset(&local, 0, sizeof(local));     local.nl_family = AF_NETLINK;       local.nl_groups = RTMGRP_LINK;      if (bind(netlink->sock, (struct sockaddr *) &local, sizeof(local)) < 0)                                                                                                   {         wpa_printf(MSG_ERROR, "netlink: Failed to bind netlink "                "socket: %s", strerror(errno));         netlink_deinit(netlink);                return NULL;     }     eloop_register_read_sock(netlink->sock, netlink_receive, netlink,                                                                                                                      NULL);     return netlink; }

执行完netlink_init方法后，会通过eloop_register_read_sock方法将其中创建的socket以及callback方法注册到eloop_run方法中的rfds中，循环监听。一旦该socket有消息或事件变化，就执行netlink_receive方法。

static void netlink_receive(int sock, void *eloop_ctx, void *sock_ctx) {     struct netlink_data *netlink = eloop_ctx;     char buf[8192];     int left;     struct sockaddr_nl from;     socklen_t fromlen;     struct nlmsghdr *h;     int max_events = 10; try_again:     fromlen = sizeof(from);     left = recvfrom(sock, buf, sizeof(buf), MSG_DONTWAIT,             (struct sockaddr *) &from, &fromlen); //从netlink读取事件     if (left < 0) {         if (errno != EINTR && errno != EAGAIN)             wpa_printf(MSG_INFO, "netlink: recvfrom failed: %s",                    strerror(errno));         return;     }     h = (struct nlmsghdr *) buf;     while (NLMSG_OK(h, left)) {         switch (h->nlmsg_type) {         case RTM_NEWLINK:             netlink_receive_link(netlink, netlink->cfg->newlink_cb,                          h); //a             break;         case RTM_DELLINK:             netlink_receive_link(netlink, netlink->cfg->dellink_cb,                          h);  //b             break;         }         h = NLMSG_NEXT(h, left);     }     if (left > 0) {         wpa_printf(MSG_DEBUG, "netlink: %d extra bytes in the end of "                "netlink message", left);     }     if (--max_events > 0) {         /*          * Try to receive all events in one eloop call in order to          * limit race condition on cases where AssocInfo event, Assoc          * event, and EAPOL frames are received more or less at the          * same time. We want to process the event messages first          * before starting EAPOL processing.          */         goto try_again;     } }

a/b中的方法调用，是在driver_nl80211.c中注册的，如下所示。

cfg->ctx = global; cfg->newlink_cb = wpa_driver_nl80211_event_rtm_newlink; cfg->dellink_cb = wpa_driver_nl80211_event_rtm_dellink;

这两个方法都会调用wpa_supplicant_event方法来处理。wpa_supplicant_event方法用来Report a driver event for wpa_supplicant。

所以这就完成了kernel向wpa_supplicant上传事件通知的过程了。

因此，kernel态向用户态发送事件通知(通过netlink)也已经分析完毕了。

wpa_supplicant与kernel交互
