This is my current development version for Extended Key ID support in
linux and mac80211.
I consider the all patches in this series against nl80211/mac80211 ready
for merge and if they still have defects not mentioned in the patch I
need your help to see them.
There are still some questions if we even want/need all those patches,
and so I've added some remarks to behind some commit message to start the
different discussions.

The driver patches are - with the exception of the hwsim patch -
definitely not ready for merge and mostly here to illustrate how the
different APIs can be used and to start some discussions how to handle HW
specific challenges. Of course if someone wants to play with Extended Key
ID they also should be useful... (I can provide updated mostly working
hostapd/wpa_supplicant patches if someone is interested. Don't try to
use the old ones I sent to hostapd mailing list in November.)

That said I'm now using most of the patches or their predecessor in my
private Wlan with devices both supporting and not supporting Extended
Key ID fine.

Compared to the last RFC patch only the nl80211 patch is still close to
what we discussed. It got the API cleanup/changes and the open sanity
checks and not much more.

The mac80211 patch from RFC v2 had serious defects. The most serious one
was probably to not select the key based on the keyid of the MPDU.
I think outlining all the changes will not be useful here, the initial
patch was too broken for anything but SW crypto. (Which also had
issues...)
It started out with more or less all the fixes we discussed but when
trying to get it really correct and feature complete it became three
different patches we better review from the scratch. They are now
touching much more code and make in some cases drastic changes.

Here a short overview of the patches in the series and why they are in
it:

1) mac80211: Optimize tailroom_needed update checks:
   This would be a standalone patch, but some other patches depend on it
   to apply cleanly.

2) nl80211/cfg80211: Extended Key ID support
   Generic support for Extended Key ID.

3) mac80211: IEEE 802.11 Extended Key ID support
   Mac80211 Extended Key ID support for drivers when the hardware is able to
   handle Extended Key ID (aka two pairwise keys in HW).

4) mac80211: Compatibility Extended Key ID support
   Mac80211 Extended Key ID support for most devices not able to handle
   two unicast keys in HW.

5) mac80211: Mark A-MPDU keyid borders for drivers
   This is one big question, see the patch for why we may want this or
   not...

6) mac80211_hwsim: Ext Key ID support (NATIVE)
   Just a one-liner to allow Extended Key ID to be used with hwsim.

--- No patch below this line is ready for merge ---

7) iwlwifi: Extended Key ID support (NATIVE)
   Hopefully the seed to support Extended Key ID for all iwlwifi cards,
   see the patch description for the (big) issue it has.
   As it is it's mostly an example how Native Extended Key ID support
   will look like working with only some cards.

8) iwlwifi: dvm - EXT_KEY_ID A-MPDU API update
   Stops iwldvm drivers to complain when used together with the
   experimental "mac80211: Mark A-MPDU keyid boarders for drivers"
   patch.

The following patches in the series are only illustrating the COMPAT
Extended Key ID support:

9) ath: Basic Extended Key ID support
   Experimental patch for generic Extended Key ID support for all ath
   drivers.

10) ath5k: ath_key_config() API compatibility update
    Allows to still compile ath5k drivers with the patch above.
    Only provided to not break any drivers if someone wants to test
    this.

11) ath9k: Extended Key ID support (COMPAT)
    The example for Compatibility Key ID support, works together with
    "ath: Basic Extended Key ID support".
 
12) ath9k: EXT_KEY_ID A-MPDU API update
    A mostly untested example how drivers may benefit from "mac80211:
    Mark A-MPDU keyid boarders for drivers".

Optimize/cleanup the delay tailroom checks and adds one missing tailroom
update.

It may make sense to write a small macro for support here.
This is only a small tweak/fix of the existing code to fit to how it's
handled in the Extended Key ID patches.

Add support for IEEE 802.11-2016 "Extended Key ID for Individually
Addressed Frames".

Extends cfg80211 and nl80211 to allow pairwise keys to be installed Rx
only, switch Tx over separately and to use keyidx 1 for pairwise keys.

From: Alexander Wetzel @ 2019-02-10 21:06 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: johannes; +Cc: linux-wireless, Alexander Wetzel

Add support for Extended Key ID as defined in IEEE 802.11-2016.

 - Implement the nl80211 API for Extended Key ID
 - Extend mac80211 API to allow drivers to support Extended Key ID
 - Add handling for Rx-only keys (including tailroom_need_count)
 - Select the decryption key based on the MPDU keyid
 - Enforce cipher does not change when replacing a key.

Allow drivers to support Extended Key ID when they are not able to
handle two unicast keys per station for Rx by falling back to software
decryption when replacing keys.

Rx HW decryption activation is delayed till we either get the first MPDU
encrypted with the new key or for max 10s.

Signed-off-by: Alexander Wetzel <alexander@wetzel-home.de>
---

Most drivers with the exception of ath10k should be able to support this
mode even without firmware updates from the vendors. (ath10k seems to be
a no-go without some firmware update, but that's not for discussion
here.)
Biggest downside are - besides the added complexity - potential severe
CPU peaks. (Imagine an rebooted AP with hundred of clients using
it with rekeying enabled and a weak CPU.) 

Also noteworthy is, that using HW Rx decryption here at all is kind of
breaking the standard: As soon as one Rx key is offloaded to the
hardware we are/may no longer be able to decrypt packets with the "other"
valid keyid. (The hardware may have tried to decrypt it with the wrong
key and then hands over the decryption failure instead of the original
data.) So this will only work correctly as long as the remote sta is
switching to the new keyid at a time within 10s and not mixing old and
new keyids for a while. If that assumption breaks, mac80211 will not be
able to decrypt mangled packets.
That said it seems unlikely that this could be much more than some
retransmits and I get perfect looking rekeys in my test setup with max a
few dozen packets decrypted in software.

+ * DOC: Extended Key ID support
+ *
+ * Mac80211 can support "Extended Key ID" from IEEE 802.11-2016, allowing to
+ * rekey the in-use unicast key with ideally zero impact for ongoing
+ * transmissions.
+ *
+ * There are two options for a driver to support Extended Key ID:
+ * 1) Native:
+ *    The "Native" Extended Key ID mode is using the key commands
+ *    %EXT_SET_KEY, %EXT_KEY_RX_TX and %DISABLE_KEY.
+ *    Drivers/cards fully compatible can set @IEEE80211_HW_EXT_KEY_ID_NATIVE,
+ *    allowing mac80211 to install two unicast keys per station to the driver.
+ *    Mac80211 will then inform the driver via %EXT_SET_KEY when a key must be
+ *    added for Rx decryption and again with %EXT_KEY_RX_TX when the driver has
+ *    to switch Tx to a new key. When the driver returns any other code than 0
+ *    for those two commands the key install is aborted and reported as failed.
+ *
+ * 2) Compatibility
+ *    This mode is for Drivers and cards which are not able to handle two
+ *    unicast key for a station on Rx, but are fine with it for Tx and can
+ *    pass trough the still encrypted MPDUs to mac80211.
+ *    The "Compatibility" Extended Key ID mode is using the key commands
+ *    %EXT_SET_KEY, %EXT_KEY_RX_TX, %EXT_DISABLE_KEY_RX and %DISABLE_KEY.
+ *    A driver setting @IEEE80211_HW_EXT_KEY_ID_COMPAT must
+ *    - implement %EXT_DISABLE_KEY_RX to switch a running key to Rx software
+ *      decryption without changing Tx handling for the key.
+ *    - Add a new key for Tx when called with %EXT_SET_KEY for the same station
+ *      with another keyid (to have a key ready allowing Tx)
+ *    - Optionally activate Rx decryption when called with %EXT_KEY_RX_TX
+ *    Only the command %EXT_KEY_RX_TX is allowed to return a value not 0, any
+ *    other command failing will abort the key install.
+ *
+ * Additionally any driver/card setting @IEEE80211_HW_EXT_KEY_ID_NATIVE or
+ * @IEEE80211_HW_EXT_KEY_ID_COMPAT must allow keyid 0 and 1 to for unicast keys.

IEEE 802.11-2016 "9.7.3 A-MPDU contents" forbids aggregating MPDUs with
different keyids.
Extended Key ID support breaks the assumption that all unicast MPDUs for
one station can always be aggregated.

Inform the drivers about a keyid border by dropping the
@IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU flag for the last MPDU using the current keyid.

Signed-off-by: Alexander Wetzel <alexander@wetzel-home.de>

This patch here is totally unnecessary when we decide that IEEE 802.11 -
2016 is not meaning what is referenced in the commit message above:-)
The exact wording in the standard is:
"All protected MPDUs within an A-MPDU have the same Key ID."

The intent of the wording was probably written without considering
Extended Key IDs. At least it makes no sense for me to forbid mixing
MPDUs using keyid 0 and 1 in one A-MPDU. Nevertheless it says what it
says and there may now be cards/drivers depending on that and e.g. only
check it for the first MPDU. The lost MPDUs would then be our fault, for
aggregating together what according to the standard must not. 

But even with that view we still don't need the patch:
A-MPDU aggregation is the job for the driver. We simply can offload the
problem to the drivers.

On the other side mac80211 is in what I consider a better position to
determine and mark the MPDU keyid border, saving the driver the effort
to parse the MPDUs again and keep track of the "current" keyid. It also
allows the driver to terminate a running A-MPDU frame when it gets the
last packet for the old key instead one frame later.

To get around what looked like a nightmare of synchronisation problems
this patch puts the Tx key switch into the Tx path. Handling idle
connections when we don't want to accept that the first packet of a
rekey may still use the key-before-current makes it more complex. 

The code is assuming that the driver is not aggregating MPDUs more than
5s apart. We probably don't have wait nearly so long but I'm not sure
what is the minimum time.

The patch also brought up a interesting problem: We are out of sta_info
flags and skb CB also has no room left to add new ones. I worked around
that by redefining how IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU has to be handled for
Extended Key ID A-MPDU sessions. If you think that puts too much stain
on the API I would need a pointer what would be considered an acceptable
solution to the problem.

But I also fully understand when you think this patch goes too far and
want it thrown out and want it handled somehow else:-).

Driver is not supporting hardware encryption and therefore fully
compatible with Extended Key ID.

This is not ready for merge and has known issues.
The patch is only for discussions to sort out how to handle it correctly!

iwlwifi intel cards had two big surprises:

Assuming I did not make some stupid errors it looks like my old
"Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (rev 3e)" using ucode 
9.221.4.1 build 25532 is perfectly fine with two keys uploaded to
harware and honoring the keyid in the MPDUs. For a card launched 2011
that's a pleasant surprise:-)

A much shorter test with a modern "Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 /
8175 (rev 78)" using ucode version 36.e91976c0.0 shows what seems to be
MPDUs decoded with the wrong key at each rekey and therefore a candidate
for the COMPAT support only..
So the bad news seems to be, that the modern card dropped the support.

It also seems to force us to add some per-card or per-firmware depending
check to decide which card can use the Native Extended Key ID support
and use the Compat mode for the rest.
Is there any way to find out which cards/firmware can be used with
Extended Key ID?
I also have tested patch for iwldvm using the Compat mode and I think
mvm cards will also work with that.

When using Extended Key ID mac80211 drops @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU for
the last packet which can be added to a A-MPDU in preparation.

Don't throw a warning and just handle the frame as if
@IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU would have been set.

I cold not figure out so far how to make sure the card will not mix
A-MPDU frames. Looks like that is handled fully in the HW and I didn't
find any interface to influence it. (It even may work already, I have
some problems to capture A-MPDU frames with A-MPDU information intact
and the topic was pretty low on the list so far. After all it works...)

This patch is therefore basically just using aggregation when it's
enabled and ignores the key border signal from mac80211.

Extend the shared ath key cache code to support Extended Key ID.

The key cache code has to accept unicast keys to use key idx 1 and allow
drivers to enable/disable hardware Rx decryption for a key independent
from Tx.

I know this is the wrong audience to discuss ath drivers. It's only
included here as an example and POC that the Compatibility Extended Key
ID means for drivers.
This has so far only got the minimal attention needed to get it working
for my AP used for tests. The idea is, to discuss that with the proper
audience once we know what mac80211 Extended Key ID support will look
like.

This is the (b)leading edge of my current attempt to figure out a
solution to the "must not aggregate keyid 0 and 1 frames together"
problem.

I've not even tested that patch properly, yet..
So it only shows how I think ath9k driver can use the A-MPDU border
signal to send out the A-MPDU frame currently under construction.

May be useful to figure out if we want to implement A-MPDU border signal
in mac80211, through.

I think this is the right forum. Do note that somewhere in this patch
(in the cover letter) you mentioned "all ath drivers" but AFAICS this
patch only changes functionality for ath5k, ath9k and ath9k_htc. All the
rest like wil6210, ath6kl and ath10k are unaffected.

You are of course right. I mixed that up somehow.

We can of course also discuss the ath patches any time :-)
My initial plan was, to get the nl80211/mac80211 API finalized and then 
get them reviewed together with another planned fix after some more 
polishing.

At this stage they are just a POC and not ready for merge. They work 
with ath9k in AP (vlan) mode and I believe managed mode should either 
work or need some trivial fix only. (There even seems to be a chance 
that managed mode could allow the usage of the NATIVE Extended Key ID 
mode, but so far I could not tested that.)

You are right, I should have used "shared ath key cache code" in the 
Cover Letter, as in the patch itself. This is not (yet) an attempt to 
implement Extended Key ID for anything else than ath9k AP mode. So any 
driver not using ath_key_config() won't be affected at all.

Now I believe it's possible for all Atheros drivers but the ath10k to 
get support. As long as a card can work with SW crypto we only need a 
way to disable Rx HW crypto for a running key without impact for ongoing Tx.
But the initial results when trying my hand at ath10k are strongly 
indicating the best we can hope there is SW encryption only with CT 
firmware... or maybe a firmware update.

While the API itself is perfectly able to handle NATIVE mode the keyid 
is not handled correctly. Installing a second key switches TX to the new 
key and overwrites the keyid in the MPDU mac80211 prepared. (I could not 
even get the card to properly make an RX/TX key to an TX only key, that 
caused clear text packets when changing the key and it looks like that 
SW crypto is only possible - with nonfree CT - when not using HW crypto 
for TX at all. With those limitations I shelved any plans for ath10k.)

One of my next planned steps is now to either get another ath9k card or 
get another driver working in AP mode to test ath9k also in managed 
mode. Of course I also have to get sniffing working properly, all cards 
tried so far have issues and it also looks like I have to update 
wireshark for serious testing. So I guess driver support will still take 
some time and efforts when we got the generic issues sorted out.

I can also try my hand at porting the other Atheros drives, but without 
someone being able to confirm it works I'm not planning that at the moment.

Not sure I like the EXT_SET_KEY. There's also no "designated Rx key", is
there? It's always selected by key ID.

How about SET_KEY_RXONLY and SET_KEY_TX or something like that?

You set this, wouldn't it make more sense to check EXT_KEY_ID_NATIVE?

Or maybe this is because of the next patch?

do you even need the flag? Isn't it equivalent to checking

or so?

Less data to maintain would be better.

you sort of only need this in the next patch, but I guess it doesn't

You've already cleared the RX_ONLY flag, which gets you inconsistent

similarly here, please don't make drive-by comment wording issues (also,
I'm not sure I agree - the old version just treats "complicated" as an

This shouldn't be needed, you do update the fast TX cache when changing
the key?

Of course :-)

Some tests for the hwsim tests there would also be nice, that's the
easiest way to see something working - if you have them.

I think it may make sense - reprogramming the hardware engines may take
some time, and doing that in the middle of the A-MPDU may not be
feasible? You don't just have to load the key (that you need to do
anyway) but also extract the status? I dunno, I'm more handwaving, but
it doesn't make sense to add such a requirement when only one key index
can be used to start with.

OTOH, if you have a lot of BE/VI/VO traffic BK might be starved even
longer than that, technically indefinitely.

I'm not convinced you can call this from this context? It looks safe

No, but if you have a good test case we can check out what the firmware
bug is and fix it. Perhaps not for all, but for the future at least.
Maybe we can still figure out where it was introduced and thus see where
it's good to use native mode.

No they don't, no firmware is available for that.

You can't really do that, as far as I can tell, unfortunately. So this
might be better in a "compat on steroids" mode?

I don't see the problem but I may simply be to set on my way to see 
it... So I'll just give an outline what's required of the API and how 
this implementation meets those. Hoping that answers your question or 
allowing you to pinpoint our differences in understanding. (I've added a 
  more than really required, it may be useful for other discussions to 
have that outlined in one piece, too.)

Extended Key ID has only two requirements for the kernel API:
1) Allow a key to be used for decryption first and switch it to a 
"normal" Rx/Tx key with a second call

2) Allow pairwise keys to use keyids 0 and 1 instead only 0.

"Legacy" key installs are using NL80211_CMD_NEW_KEY to install a new key 
and are allow to mark a key for WEP or management  default usages via 
NL80211_CMD_SET_KEY later.

With Extended Key ID we stick to a similar approach: NL80211_CMD_NEW_KEY 
is called to install the new key and nl80211_key_install_mode allows to 
select between a "legacy" or "extended" key install: NL80211_KEY_RX_TX 
for "legacy" or NL80211_KEY_RX_ONLY for "extended".

NL80211_KEY_SWITCH_TX is only allowed with NL80211_CMD_SET_KEY and is 
the only Extended Key ID action allowed for that function.

Any non-pairwise keys can only use NL80211_KEY_RX_TX which is of course 
always the default and also allowed for "legacy" pairwise keys.

A Extended Key Install will:
1) call NL80211_CMD_NEW_KEY with all the usual parameters of a new key 
install plus the flag NL80211_KEY_RX_ONLY set.

2) Once ready will call NL80211_CMD_SET_KEY with flag 
NL80211_KEY_SWITCH_TX to activate a specific key.

ok, I'll remove all the drive-by comment "cleanups".
It (often) looks kind of untidy and not really worth separate patches 
and I'm kind of responsible for (most) of them.. I see why you don't 
want to see those fixed drive-by...

My understanding is now that we prefer to not change those and I'll 
leave them alone.

Yes. Extended Key ID only allows to use Key ID 1 on top of the 
established ID 0. See "IEEE 802.11 - 2016 9.4.2.25.4 RSN capabilities":

Bit 13: Extended Key ID for Individually Addressed Frames. This subfield 
is set to 1 to indicate that the STA supports Key ID values in the range 
0 to 1 for a PTKSA and STKSA when the cipher suite is CCMP or GCMP. A 
value of 0 indicates that the STA only supports Key ID 0 for a PTKSA and
STKSA.

Or also "12.7.6.4 4-way handshake message 2":

If the Extended Key ID for Individually Addressed Frames subfield of the 
RSN Capabilities field is 1 for both the Authenticator and the 
Supplicant, then the Authenticator assigns a new Key ID for the PTKSA in
the range 0 to 1 that is different from the Key ID assigned in the 
previous handshake and uses the MLME-SETKEYS.request primitive to 
install the new key to receive individually addressed MPDUs protected by
the PTK with the assigned Key ID.

same answer with one remark: The original code did only allow id 0 and 
and I made sure only with install mode NL80211_KEY_RX_ONLY is allowed to 
use non-zero IDs.

The code is silently assuming a rekey is using the same cipher. Someone 
e.g. switching from WEP to CCMP with a rekey would pass all sanity 
checks and allow to use the code in a way never intended or tested.
With the current handling the userspace e.g. should be able to install a 
WEB key using keyid 3 and then rekey it with a CCMP key, claiming keyid 
0 bit mac80211 will copy the keyid from the old and use keyid 3. 
Something not possible otherwise.

That said I do not see how this could be exploited, I simply try to 
enforce all assumptions to be on the safe side. (I did not dig deeper 
into potential exploits after finding out how keyids are used during rekey.)

First, you are of course right about the designated Rx key. I'll update 
that.

Second, I spend quite some time finding good names for the calls and one 
of the last tweaks to this patch was replacing SET_KEY_RX_ONLY to 
EXT_SET_KEY...

So here the reasoning for why I named them as they are and why I  prefer 
the names used in the patch.
First, many drivers will handle SET_KEY and SET_KEY_RX_ONLY with the 
same code and not differentiate between those at all. Using EXT_as a 
prefix for the "normal" command is therefore a nice way to imply the 
command can only be used with Extended Key ID and still link it to the 
original command.
But more important for me was the clash between what the command spells 
and what it does in the COMPAT mode: SET_KEY_RX_ONLY would then be used 
to install a TX only key which never can be used by the card for Rx.
So I decided to rename it to EXT_SET_KEY, just indicating that this 
command adds a new key to the card for Extended Key ID and drop the 
confusing reference to Rx.

I also had a comparable problem with SET_KEY_TX:
Most cards will already have done what must be done to use a key for Tx 
with the first command. Only ath10k (assuming it could support Extended 
Key ID at all) would really switch Tx with this command.
All other drivers seem to lookup the hw key ID and use whatever key is 
referenced there. In fact I think most NATIVE drivers won't have to do 
anything here and just can return 0.
Now COMPAT drivers (normally) will normally need a new special command 
to enable Rx crypto offload for the new key. So we either would have to 
add a new command for COMPAT drivers or accept that SET_KEY_TX is used 
for that, again putting quite some stain an the name.

Using EXT_SET_KEY instead just implies that we are adding a new key for 
Extended Key IDs and it's our first contact with this key.
EXT_KEY_RX_TX is then the second contact and has to do whatever is 
necessary to switch the added but not yet fully activated key to fully 
activated. That COPMPAT drivers will enable Rx with it while native 
drivers do nothing or really switch Tx with the command.

Long story short: Using SET_KEY_RXONLY and SET_KEY_TX is not wrong, but 
I would rate them more confusing.

Exactly. Assuming we merge NATIVE and drop COMPAT that would move down

I have to look at that again. It will change some assumptions for sure 
but still could work out with some slight differences. I'll have to look 
deeper into that since I remember two moments where I was sure needing 
the flag. That may well be outdated, but at a first glance it would at 
least open the door to first install two key in legacy mode and then 
switch between them. (Which should be no problem, of course)
I'll follow up on that separately, but that may take some time. When it 
works you'll get a new RFC.

I don't think so, it looks ok for me. But the delay_tailroom logic took 
a surprisingly large chunk of time and I should explain how the updated 
logic is intended to work. Maybe I've messed it up somehow and just do 
not see it:

I decided to handle that exact, no shortcuts. Only keys which can be 
used for Tx will be counted for delay tailroom. So when installing a Rx 
only key tailroom_needed will never be increased.
Prior to enabling Tx with a key the code above drops the RX_ONLY flag 
and then evaluates if we have to call increment_tailroom_need_count. The 
key is then activated for Tx a few lines below, the old key is set to 
RX_ONLY and - assuming the old key also increased the tailroom needed 
counter - decrements it for the old key.
(And I'm not sure if I should get that working without a dedicated key 
flag, but let's wait and see how that would look like and then discuss it.)

The obvious simplification would be to just skip both steps and neither 
increment nor decrement tailroom needed. Problem with that is, that the 
HW offload decides during key install if the driver can support HW 
offload or not. So it could be that e.g. the old key did use HW 
encryption but the new will not. Handling that would further complicated 
by the fact that a key install also could failand then would have to 
clean up that again.
So I just update tailroom_needed as soon as possible, allowing to abort 
any time and not worry about all that.

No, not without some undesired modifications. We actually fetch the 
referenced key and the key slot must exist and be NULL. We (mostly) 
discussed that in the previous RFC, I just decided to use a define 
instead the numeric value. (Mostly due the fact that A-MPDU also needs 
an "invalid" ID and using the same looks like a good idea.

Here how we use this #define in sta_info.c

/* Extended Key ID can install keys for keyid 0 and 1 as Rx only.

That's only right for the push path but can send out wrong packets when 
the driver is using the pull path:

1) ieee80211_xmit_fast() will use fast_tx structure to fill in the 
"cached" keyid and queue the packet. (let's say 0)

2) ieee80211_check_fast_xmit is called due to a rekey (and keyid change 
from 0 -> 1)

3) ieee80211_tx_dequeue() will then dequeue the prepared skb from 1), 
refresh the key information but keep keyid 0 in the skb and instruct the 
driver to encrypt it for keyid 1 -> WRONG

4) The remote sta tries to decrypt the packet using the key 0, as 
referenced by the keyid. Which will of course not work.

With Extended Key ID (and some debugging) I added a simple rule: When 
you assign the pn you also set the matching keyid.

My first answer for that on makes no sense, so let me try again:

Exactly. With COMPAT we would have to check for EXT_KEY_ID_NATIVE and 
EXT_KEY_ID_COMPAT. Since we have already done that and set 
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_EXT_KEY_ID I check that here.
Assuming we merge NATIVE and drop COMPAT it may make sense to keep the 
check here and drop EXT_KEY_ID_NATIVE altogether.
The drivers than can set NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_EXT_KEY_ID directly.

This is mostly to have a definite time we know the new key is used also 
for RX. In probably 99.9% of all cases it will be triggered from the Rx 
path.
Some special purpose devices may not send any packets for a long time 
and trigger the fallback, as (wrong) firewall rules. (I've e.g. tested 
it by dropping all outgoing packets on the remote sta.)

The idea was to be sure that a rekey intervall >10s prevents activating 
Rx crypt when rekeying the next key. Which now sounds kind of thin...

So I'll remove the 10s fallback.

I've just upload my current hostapd patches here:
https://www.awhome.eu/index.php/s/FZx68eGMGbwf6EK

These are slightly updated versions of the patches I send to the hostapd 
mailing list used in my tests. I'm using them since months in mixed 
environments with and without Extennded Key ID support.
Once the nl80211 API stabilizes I'll plan to polish them, fill in the 
known gaps and try to get them merged.

I did run the the existing PTK tests but proper tests for Extended Key 
ID are the biggest open topic. I suspect proper tests will the most 
complicated open task here.

The others are:
- No support for Extended Key ID in mesh mode
- Update to new kernel API (the one we extended for Extended KEY ID) 
needs some more work.
- Make sure we do not install the keys twice when repeating either EAPOL 
3 or 4 (I think one of them was ok, but I did not look at that for 
ages... It's still working fine, mac80211 detects a duplicate key 
install and just reports success.)

I'm pretty new to all that and I know I have still huge gaps everywhere.
But the card must be able to process MPDUs using both KeyIDs at that 
moment already. When receiving a A-MPDU it should not be very hard to 
check each MPDU and process it accordingly. (TX should even be simpler: 
The driver simply can decide if he want's to have a key border in the 
A-MPDU or not and switch to key when it wants.)

Forbidding to mix unicast with both keyIDs is adding an ugly overhead to 
an otherwise quite simple solution and adds complexity, at least for us 
here.
So while I would like to understand the reason for that rule it's still 
a rule and breaking it seems to be a bad idea.

Hm, there is nothing preventing us to drop this "idle" switch as long as 
we also drop the 10s Rx accel offload when idle fallback in the COMPAT 
patch. (We have to drop the RX idle accel patch or get a small risk of 
dropping packets in unlikely but possible scenarios. If that are eapol 
packets things will become hairy, probably disconnecting the sta.)

It just feels strange to potentially still use the old key for one 
packet more without time limit. It could be, that the first EAPOL packet 
we send for the next rekey would still use the previous key, the second 
eapol packet the current.

Well, it's seems to work fine, no warnings or problems so far:-)

But I also had doubts and only after finding out that 
ieee80211_check_fast_xmit() is already being called from the same 
context I dared to use it, see ieee80211_tx_prepare().

Well, all I can think of is quite invasive, so I hoped you would have a 
better idea:

Move the flags out from CB and use the freed space for a pointer to the 
new construct.
That will touch a ton of code and slow down things a bit.

The question here also would be, if we should use a struct able to 
handle other extensions or just a long long for flags.

If it comes to that I would propose to merge the other patches up to 
this one and then start looking into that...

Ah. That's where the "EXT" came from in the mac80211 names :-) FWIW, I'm
not sure that makes sense. Yes, we think of it as an "extension" or
being "extended" now while we work on it, but ultimately it'll be a
simple part of the API. But I digress.

Yes, but what does it *do*? Your documentation said:

	Switch Tx to a Rx only, referenced by sta mac and idx.

but that seems backwards to me based on the above requirement:
	Allow a key to be used for decryption first and switch it to a
	"normal" Rx/Tx key with a second call.

IOW, you said we need to have the ability to first install RX-only, and
then switch the key to RX & TX. I'd have called this "ENABLE_TX" or
something like that. Or perhaps SWITCH_(ON_)TX if you're so inclined,
but the documentation should then say

	Switch key from RX-only to TX/RX, referenced by ...

no? That's what I meant by "the other way around".

Right.

So far makes sense.

Also makes sense, but the documentation doesn't.

I think we should rename these perhaps

	NL80211_KEY_RX_TX - install key and enable RX/TX (default)
	NL80211_KEY_RX_ONLY - install unicast key for RX only
	NL80211_KEY_ENABLE_TX - enable TX for a previously installed 
				RX_ONLY key

I think?

About the ENABLE_TX vs. SWITCH_TX - we don't allow to switch TX *off*
again, only *on*, so I think "enable" makes more sense than "switch".

Anyway, my whole comment was only about the documentation text which
seemed backward or at least unclear to me.

I have no objection to even the most trivial cleanup patches going in
separately, and if you like multiple in a bigger "clean up this area"
patch, but here I think it detracts from the patch.

Ok. That's fair, but it'd be good to add that reasoning to the commit

Wait, what? In compat mode SET_KEY_RX_ONLY installs a TX-only key? Ah,
you mean before you changed this.

Why don't we split out compat mode then?

But I see where you're coming from with the EXT_ now. I need to think of
it less as an "extension" now, but as "extended key ID". I'm not really
entirely sure that makes sense - even what we think of as "extended key
ID" now might be the new normal soon? But then again the spec does the
same thing.

Yes, I think I get it. I don't think we need to drop compat, it seems
somewhat useful for some drivers - I think I mostly just got confused
here because compat support only comes later, and I wasn't really
thinking about it yet in the context of this patch.

No worries :-)
I don't really mind the flag, but much of the use I've seen now here
seemed equivalent, and then it doesn't seem necessary.

My comment wasn't related to tailroom accounting at all. I've snipped
more code above to hopefully make it clearer.

If you fail to activate the key in the driver, then the key is not
actually enabled for TX, and thus you should not have cleared the
KEY_FLAG_RX_ONLY? You'll be returning this error all the way to
userspace, I assume.

(Maybe, btw, the driver should be allowed to return something like
"oops, I now want to use TX software crypto" like it can do for other
operations?)

And I'm just handwaving ;-)

But I know that for example we have A-MPDU spacing rules, ie. sometimes
padding must be inserted by the transmitter to give the receiver's HW or
FW enough time to program crypto engines. It thus stands to reason that
in order to minimise the spacing you'd want to keep the key material at
hand in the engine while processing the whole A-MPDU.

I tend to agree, but you never know in what surprising ways hardware

Not sure I understand this. If we have no TX going on at all, then
surely we can switch with the next packet, before we encrypt it?

And if we have a packet sitting on hardware queues forever, then we
can't do anything about it anyway?

I think we have free bits in enum mac80211_tx_control_flags, so that
should be workable? They won't be preserved until TX status, but that's
OK for this purpose, no?

Not sure I even understand this?

You meant "Rx crypto offload"? I'm not really sure we _care_ that much?

Then again, an issue may be that some firmware may want (need) the keys
for RX so it can look at certain frames (action frames?) itself. So if
we never install the RX key and then only get an action frame that the
firmware should handle, we lose. Such firmware could not support COMPAT
mode then I guess, which may mean a bunch of iwlwifi devices shouldn't
use COMPAT mode.

I'll verify if can reproduce the scrambled packets and will provide a 
capture if so. Assuming that confirms the initial finding I'll be able 
to reproduce that at will within minutes with access to a test system 
having a mvm card. (I have some plans which will improve access, but 
looks like that will take some time and efforts.)

For now I handle that as low prio till we have generic Extended Key ID 
support merged and I've had some time to improve my test setup and 
hopefully have better access to a mvm card for testing.

So far I only looked at the dvm part of iwlwifi with only minutes spend 
on mvm to port the NATIVE solution from dvm.

Are you saying that mvm cards can't seamless switch a RX/TX key to TX 
only one? mvm seems to support SW crypto as needed and switching RX/TX 
to TX keys is the only other requirement for COMPAT mode.

If all that's lacking is a few NICs then I'm sure we/I can help out with

No, sorry. I misread your statement. I thought you were saying "mvm
cards will also work with iwldvm" rather than "mvm cards will also work
with compat mode" :-)

I think they all should just be made to work in native mode, the
firmware basically supports this as you found, there must be some small
bugs.

I hoped that the HW would already enforce the key border. But ok: The 
cards will still be able to use NATIVE mode. Only now the driver will 
have to request to disable Tx aggregation when finding a key border. 
Since Tx aggregation is disabled per default anyhow many users will not 
even see a difference.

(Off topic here, but I suspect the not reproducible problems leading to 
change the Tx aggregation default to off could also have been ptk0 rekey 
freezes. In that case we could now allow it again. But I've not found 
raw error reports and guess it's not worth the efforts/risks to change 
the default again.)

It doesn't really have to even completely disable it, it'd just have to
send and LQ_CMD with agg_params.agg_frame_cnt_limit = 1, temporarily,
until the relevant frames were transmitted (this is a global config, so
it'd have to track the key border on each TID, but that's not _too_
hard).

I wouldn't be so sure - PTK rekeying should still be a pretty uncommon
configuration. But I also don't recall the exact decision making going
into this.

"EXT" is only intended to be the short form for "Extended Key ID for 
Individually Addressed Frames" from IEEE 802.11 - 2016 and not as 
"extension for nl80211/mac80211".

Ah, now I see your point!

I'm viewing a Rx only key as something different, a new "key group" like 
the existing broadcast or unicast key groups. (Which btw. also why I 
have a problems to not have a key marked as such.)

"Switch TX" was intended to bring across, that the Tx status would 
switch from the "other" key to the referenced one. (That's also the 
reason I did not want to use ENABLE_TX.)

Or in other words:
Make a potential existing RX/TX key to a RX only key and the current Rx 
only key to the RX/Tx key. The key referenced by sta and mac must be 
flagged Rx only or the command will have no effect/fail. (The last 
requirement would vanish when we drop the Rx_Only key flag.)

What do you think about:
	Switch key referenced by referenced by sta mac and idx from RX-
	only to RX/TX and make any other RX/TX key for the sta a RX-only
	key.

See above. NL80211_KEY_ENABLE_TX would also implicit disable Tx for the 
"other" pairwise key (if present). Mac80211 e.g. evaluates delay 
tailromm for both keys again and always reduces it for the Rx only key 
when it was set and even sets the RX_only flag again.

That said I'm happy with any of these:
	NL80211_KEY_ENABLE_TX
	NL80211_KEY_SWITCH_TX
	NL80211_KEY_MOVE_TX

After that discussion I'm now wondering if we maybe should change the 
naming more fundamentally, similar to what I proposed for mac80211:

	NL80211_KEY_SET - install key and enable RX/TX (default)
	NL80211_KEY_EXT_SET add unicast key for Extended Key ID
	NL80211_KEY_EXT_ENABLE - Set the key referenced by
		sta mac the to the preferred TX key for sta

Here it would be nice to be able to use "NL80211_EXT_KEY_", but that 
would break the naming schema quite badly. And using 
NL80211_KEY_EXT_KEY_ looks also confusing...

Any preferences or other options? I think you have now all details about 
that and whatever looks best for you is it now.

I did not see that when coming from understanding the code to writing

I understand.
Honestly I would feel silly to put most of the drive-by changes into a 
dedicated patch and not worth the time for a review.
So I guess I'll only do separate patches if I really care about the 
format/comment in future:-)

I gave that a closer look today and tried to get rid of 
KEY_FLAG_RX_ONLY. It looks like it could work, but only with a 
(pointless looking) trade off:

The problem is the initial key install. Normal and Extended Key Installs 
both call ieee80211_add_key() and the function has to "mark" either the 
key or the sta to be using Extended Key ID so we later know if we have 
to activate Tx for the key or not.

Without that ptk_idx will still be set to INVALID_PTK_KEYIDX in either 
case and therefore useless. ieee80211_key_replace() will then have no 
way to figure out if it must set ptk_idx and activate the key for TX or 
not.

Both checking a key Flag (for RX only) or a station flag (for Extended 
Key ID being used) would solve the problem but I do not see an good way 
to do it without one or the other.

Now we could of course use some other existing variable like setting 
ptk_idx to INVALID_PTK_KEYIDX+1 in ieee80211_add_key(). But it still 
would be some kind of flag, only stored where nobody would expect it...

Storing the information with the key simplifies the delay tailroom 
handling a bit but I think I can get that operational with a station 
flag for Extended Key ID also. But for me that trade off looks pointless..

I can of course go ahead if you see some benefit or other way ahead...
But I would pull the plug on the plan to get rid of RX_Only Key flag 
with that.

Yes, an error here will get passed through to the userspace.

I think I mentioned already that tailroom update really got tricky with 
Rx only keys and I'll also add some comments to help understanding better:-)

Here a more verbose version to verify the logic:

An error here will abort the key install and at the end that will 
disconnect the sta. But don't forget that the key at that moment was 
already installed successfully to the driver as a Rx only key and in 
most cases the driver is already "ready" to use Tx with that key. 
Mac80211 is just not handing over any MPDUs for that key.

A "normal" key install would already have increased the tailroom needed 
count at that time, we just skipped that since a Rx only key never can 
have use for a tailroom and it's now time to update the count if needed 
for Tx.

If that call to the driver here fails mac80211 may have a different 
understanding of the key RX/TX status than the driver for cards similar 
to ath10k we do not care about that. While we still may be able to 
transport some packets if the driver still can handle them with the old 
Tx key the userspace will have to tear down at least the encryption and 
probably the complete association to start over. The connection is 
basically already dead and we only care about our mac80211 housekeeping, 
so in that case our delay tailroom needed count.

Allowing SW crypto fallback makes no sense, there is no way mac80211 can 
rescue the situation: Only drivers like ath10k handling the key 
selection with PN assignment themselves should need this call, all 
others just have to return 0. So for any driver needing this call 
mac80211 can't fix whatever went wrong in the driver.

Here the comments I've now add to the code for the next revision of the 
pacth: (The code itself is unchanged)

+       key->flags &= ~KEY_FLAG_RX_ONLY;
+
+       /* Dropping the KEY_FLAG_RX_ONLY flag forces us to update tailroom,

Well, yes. But how can we figure out we are indeed idle?
(Chances are there is something and I missed it, I've not even look at 
many subsystems in mac80211 and probably even don't know some of them 
exist...)

The driver/card must have given up on waiting for more frames to 
aggregate and send out whatever it had in the queue.

You just told me above that a card may keep a partially assembled A-MPDU 
in the buffer for >5s if we have higher priority traffic... That was my 
idea to just handle it time-based with an insane but still ok long time.

Checking if all higher priority TIDs are idle sounds complicated and we 
still must know when the driver/card gives up and send out the bufferd 
frames even if the A-MPDU is not full. That does not make the idea to 
handle it time-based any simpler...

I'm not even sure it makes much sense to send out packets with 5s delay 
at all, tcp will already have queued retransmitts and for udp the frames 
are either also considered to be lost by the application or we don't 
care about them any more.

So yes, we can switch Tx to the new key immediately when we are sure the 
driver/card has no A-MPDU "in aggregation" at that time. I guess we can 
add a call the driver, asking it to tell us if a TID is idle, which also 
sounds complicated. So I guess I just would send the "key border" signal 
even when idle and accept that this can in corner cases use different 
keys for even and odd EAPOL frames.

Wonderful idea:-)
I'll rewrite drop you a new patch revision with all the other changes we 
discussed (or are still discussing).

If nothing new pops up - either in our discussions or when rewriting the 
key border signal - I would drop RFC from the next patch series all the 
POC patches after this one so we can focus on the merge relevant defects.

We still seem to have a problem understanding each other here. That 
sounds like something we have to sort out with the RFC patch series to 
avoid bad surprises later... It's probably nothing, but here we go:-)

First, COMPAT drivers must not have any key installed for Rx offload in 
Hw. Any active Rx key will be changed to a Tx only key with mac80211 
taking over the Rx decryption in software.

That is bad, weak CPU devices asked to take over decryption will be not 
able to handle the same load as with HW. (My test router can't and with 
Sw crypto I'm around 20MBit/s slower. The router even become 
unresponsive on a shell when stressing it in a quick test some weeks 
ago, with a single client uploading.)

So we try to handle as few packets as possible with SW crypto and as 
soon as we see a packet encrypted with the new key activate Rx crypto 
with the new key again. Any packets send with the old key after that are 
very likely mangled by the Rx crypto offload and lost and part of the 
price we have to pay for being able to use extended Key ID with cards 
never designed for it and at least with traffic between ath9k/iwldvm not 
an issue at all.

But it's of course all that is irrelevant when we are no packets to 
decrypt and the code sample above starting the discussion. That is 
handling a very rare corner case I reproduced by dropping all outgoing 
packets with iptables on the remote station. EAPOL packets of course 
don't care about iptable rules and the key could still be rekeyed, but 
EAPOL frames were the only traffic possible and since the handshake 
still use the outgoing key the receiving station never got a packet 
encrypted with the new key, preventing it to activate Rx offload. So 10s 
after the rekey the "fallback" mechanism kicked in.

Not installing the Rx key after 10s as a fallback has no real downsides, 
it only may break the assumption of someone debugging a problem that at 
10s after we installed the key to mac80211 the Hw crypto will be active 
again.
Without the fallback it's just something like extremely likely and may 
be not true in unusual setups or for problems affecting the Rx path.

Long story short, if you don't like the fallback activating mechanism 
for no Rx packets seen we can simply drop it.

As you said it's a rare case and not handling it only chances what you 
assume from what you know for sure during debugging of a problem.

Management Frame crypto is not affected by COMPAT mode workarounds or 
even by Extended Key ID at all, or I have a big flaw in my understanding:

Managment frames (802.11w) and for my understanding therefore also 
action frames do not use the keys PTK keys (IDs 0+1) but 4+5 and never 
touch the QoS MPDUs Extended Key ID is all about.

But after figuring that much out I ignored it...

Thanks, but as you suspected the NICs are the smallest problem...

I've simply delayed setting up a good lab far too long. So prior to 
shifting the focus to drivers I have to remedy that somehow.
Not really relevant here, but if you want to know what I plan for the 
future here my thoughts on it. If not you better skip that section:-)

Current plan is, to get one (ideally two, depending on price) mini PCs 
(amd64) with m.2 slots, good antennas and one or two matching Intel AC 
9260 cards.

Additionally I want to get rid of the whitelist in my development 
notebook by flashing coreboot, opening the path to install a minipci to 
m.2 adapter mount a second/third Intel 9260 card.

The core boot flash rollout is imminent, just do not want to risk the 
system by soldering wires to the mainboard till the generic support is 
sorted out. If that goes wrong I could brick my main system and lose 
access to my dvm card, but no risk no fun:-)

With that setup and using AC-9260 in all devices I'll have near-perfect 
setup to test and observe AC-9260 and can simply swap out cards to test 
and and maybe also get working after (hopefully) getting AC-9260 
Extended Key ID "certified" as reference implementation.
With three stations I can then try my hand at the still open mesh 
support for Extended Key ID, but that should wpa_supplicant only.

That said the initial heavy lifting is done. I'm still amazed I get that 
off the ground and working end2end with comparable ease. While there is 
still much work left the structures are all in place and it's now mainly 
closing the gaps.

I currently plan stick to the project a bit langer getting at least some 
intel cards and ath9k working, finalize the already existing Extended 
Key ID and PTK0 rekey patches and also update wireshark again.

I suspect I'll need at least one year for that in the best case, 
potentially much longer.

I already have three bugs/issues flagged for analysis. Nothing really 
relevant for the generic support but all three itching enough I'll plan 
to look into them:
1) Wrong time stamps with at least iwlwifi when using monitor in 
parallel to the normal connection for outgoing MPDUs (probably mac80211 
issue, )
2) Probably: Wpa_supplicant scan list is flushed too often, preventing 
fast reconnects
3) Wireshark can't handle Extended Key IDs decoding (and decoding should 
get at least some other generic improvements

Chances are I'll be busy with coreboot for some time and then 
finding/setting up some mini PC(s). That's nothing I've had any need for 
so far and suitable systems with M.2 slots with at least two external 
antennas are hard to find. (So I may end up mounting external antennas 
to the system myself.)

To continue I primarily need another Extended Key ID AP, ideally able to 
support NATIVE and COMPAT mode. Having a second device (or maybe just 
second M.2 card in the same one?) for sniffing nice.

Finding a really good sniffer able to also capture A-MPDU frames 
including control frames would be awesome. All the so-called good 
sniffing USB sticks I got my hands on crap even for sniffing normal 
frames compared to my built-in dvm card nobody seems to suggest for 
sniffing...
Full-speed sniffing to observe a rekey during load is hardly a common 
use case and I suspect usb interface alone an indication the card won't 
be able to handle it well. And some things like the cleartext packet 
leaks only becomes visible at higher speeds. (Which btw also need a 
follow up. My crypt skills are not the best, but with my current 
understanding I'm quite sure a retransmit of a previously encrypted 
frame in the clear text gives away the TK key for all other frames 
encrypted with the same TK.)

So plenty of work and reason to get a better test environment set up:-)

I hope the newer mvm cards will be as good as my old mvm card and when 
using the same card in the AP, sta and sniffer able to get basically 
every frame as long as the sniffer has the best antennas.

If someone here has a suggestion what works for I would appreciate some 
pointers here:-) Don't want sink too much money at it but if it's 
something around 300€ or so I could simply start with one and decide 
later if I really need a second one. Non-amd64 systems would also be ok, 
but it must at least work with vanilla kernels and something like 
Debian. I'm wasted enough time of porting my patches for each test and 
keep them in sync.

If someone is willing to donate a suitable test system I would not say 
no, but I'll plan to finish that with private funds also.

I probably should work on the new AP, but then I always wanted to test 
coreboot and finding out my notebook is now supported is too alluring to 
resist;-)

Agree. And with your statements that it already should work and the 
option to get ucode updates I like our chances:-) With some luck it 
could even work and I made some error the first time. I'll give that a 
second look with what I have at hand soon. But after bombing you with 
mails for what feels like most of the weekend I'll postpone that for now:-)

As mentioned above I'm currently aiming for two or three Intel AC-9260 
cards for the next development round. It's seems to be the most modern 
card and the price difference between the cards is irrelevant compared 
to both efforts and costs to get the cards working in two or three 
devices. If you thing another card would be better for development I'll 
just use that one instead...

I've had second (or more like tenths..) thoughts about this API.
If you like any of the solutions below more than the others I'll use 
that in the next patch, of course...

In a nutshell, the point of EXT_SET_KEY is to install a key, prepare it 
for Tx but NOT use it for Tx. The driver can use it for Rx (NATIVE) or 
just do nothing with the (in COMPAT mode) Tx only key till mac80211 
starts using it for Tx later.

1) Assuming we keep the RX_ONLY key flag we could just drop EXT_SET_KEY 
and  use the "normal" SET_KEY with the flag moved to ieee80211_key_conf.
We really just want to install the key to the driver here, only drivers 
like ath10k need a way to figure out it must not be used for Tx.

2) We also can drop the Rx only flag/extra command and simply use 
SET_KEY. ath10k will then have to honor the keyID mac80211 prepared when 
it want to support Extended Key ID. (ath10k seems to need a firmware 
update either way, so that could be acceptable.)

That said I've now decided to simply name the calls in the next patch:
SET_KEY	
	-> no RX only flag!
SET_KEY_RX
	-> SET_KEY, only key must not be used for Tx
DISABLE_KEY,
	-> unchanged
ACTIVATE_KEY
	-> so far named EXT_KEY_RX_TX
DISABLE_KEY_RX
	-> so far named EXT_DISABLE_KEY_RX

We can then continue the discussion with a new patch and the other fixes 
in it when needed.
To really clean that up we would have to change the existing names to 
something like ADD_KEY, REMOVE_KEY. We could then name the new calls 
ADD_KEY_RX, ACTIVATE_KEY and DISABLE_KEY_RX. But that seems to be overkill.

I think the AC-9260 you have should be a decent sniffer. The (yet
unreleased) follow-up hardware is even better, but this one is fine.

Just remember to load with amsdu_size set to the appropriate (maximum)
A-MSDU size you want to capture.

I was looking at the firmware now and ... well, I want to really test
this to understand what's going wrong, because it really *looks* like
even the recent ones should be supported natively, at least as far as
I've looked now.

AC-9260 should be fine, as far as Intel is concerned. Also make for good
sniffers, in my experience, we use them all the time for that.

I've got a new test system in the meantime and have it up and running as 
a simple test AP with Extended Key ID. I suspect I'll should tune the 
antennas (and probably also the card) based on the first test spins, but 
it's good enough for the moment.

my new test AP came with a Intel AC-3168, which seems to use only one 
antenna, potentially also explaining my fist impression that it's a 
worse card for sniffing than my old Ultimate-N 6300. But it looks like 
it's acting exactly the same in my other iwlmvm test. So I actually 
started to run some tests and started writing a mail. It's so far 
inconclusive and I want to verify the packets on the air next. Something 
is off here and I want to look at that again from scratch, including an 
external sniffer.

That said here what I've got so far and some fresh captures.

It looks like my (new) Wireless-AC 3168NGW (firmware 29.1044073957.0) 
does not have the new key ready for Rx when needed. I have a roughly 5 - 
15 ms long window where the card scrambles received packets using the 
new key. (Note: I can't replicate that at the moment. May be wrong!)
I first suspected the card "cleared" the new key for usage a bit too 
soon and tried to verify that by waiting a bit after installing a key to 
the HW. But it looks like it's not so simple...

I've added a 40 ms delay in the mvm driver after the call to 
iwl_mvm_set_sta_key() and it first looked like that improved the 
situation. So I moved the sleep to iwl_trans_send_cmd() behind 
send_cmd() when not being in CMD_ASYNC but I can't see any any 
differences any longer. At the moment (with the new test setup) I always 
get one corrupted frame when downloading from the AP. Always the first 
frame using the new key...

As for the test procedure: I just add a monitor interface in parallel to 
the "normal" interface on the AP. With HW encryption enabled we should 
only get cleartext packets and don't have to worry about encrypted 
packets in our capture at all:
   iw phy phy0 interface add mon0 type monitor
   ip link set up dev mon0
And start a capture in the interface:
   tcpdump -pi mon0 -s0 -w /tmp/AP.cap

I've just uploaded some captures for you to 
https://www.awhome.eu/index.php/s/AJJXBLsZmzHdxpX also. I've enabled 
swcrypto on the client for the first two and enabled HW crypto on the 
client again for the third and forth.

AP-40ms.pcap.gz
	delay hack as outlined above on the AP
AP-no-delay.cap.gz
	no hack (just some useless printks)
AP-no-delay-client-HW-crypt.cap.gz
	same as above, only cleint using HW crypto
AP-upload-no-delay-HW-crypt.cap.gz
	same as previous, only uploading instead of downloading.
	(and too many broken packets on receive, indicating a bad
	reception/sniffer card)

In all captures I have a normal (1s) ping running to the AP from the 
cleint and start a download from an internal server after a while.

You can e.g. find the "corrupted" looking frames with the wireshark filter
"(wlan.fc.type_subtype == 0x0028) && !(llc.dsap == 0xaa)"

Each capture here only has exactly one, the very first packet using the 
new key.

I'll plane to look deeper here, but that is as far as I got so far.

When you look at the captures keep in mind that both the client and the 
AP also have the two not merged patches applied. But I do not see how 
that makes a difference here.

Guess I will have to get one for my AP soon at least:-)

Right, that's worse in some way.

Ok, that's interesting. Definitely something I'd want to reproduce here
locally and see where exactly we select the wrong key.

FWIW, no timing changes should be needed, once the firmware responds
(and we wait for that when installing a key) everything will be in
place.

I'll take a look, but a trace-cmd recording would be more interesting
than the monitor interface, as it also tells us when what key was
installed etc.

If you have some time, you can find how to record that here (under the
"Tracing" section):

https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi/debugging

Please do review the privacy notes there at the end of the page if you
do this, you should probably send the files to me/us directly rather
than post publicly. They do contain the keys of your (test) network to
some extent - at least of course the PTK(s)/GTK(s), but usually also the
KEK/KCK.

For everyone else - make sure to set "ignore protected bit - with IV" in
wireshark.

Yeah. Note that this packet is really quickly after the EAPOL 4/4
(1.5ms) so perhaps the key wasn't installed yet or something? Hmm, then
again, it should be before we send the confirmation?

But I don't know. The tracing would definitely tell me what's going on.

Btw, if you do record such tracing, it helps if you compile
wpa_supplicant with CONFIG_DEBUG_LINUX_TRACING and start it with the -T
argument to record all of its debugging into the trace file as well.

I've just uploaded better captures also including traces to the same 
location. Everything relevant for this mail is in the folder
iwlwifi-debug here:
https://www.awhome.eu/index.php/s/AJJXBLsZmzHdxpX

The old traces have been moved to top dir "old", if you still are 
interested in them, but I think the new ones should be better.

1) Both AP and the STA are now running wt-2019-04-10 *without* the not 
merged patches from the Extended Key ID series. (I've only enabled 
Ext_Key_ID for mvm and dvm on top and added some printk's. The patches 
for that are also available via the link above but really boring...

2) the files with the same prefix (in the format HH:MM) show the same 
communication.
The AP files are of course from the AP, STA from the client station and 
Sniff from my Netgear 7800 used as a OTA sniffer. With the AP literally 
sitting on top of it.
The "Sniff" files can be decoded with the WPA Password "ExtKeyTestAP".

My "Hack" patch to wireshark to allow it to decode keyID 1 is also 
uploaded. (The hack just allows decoding of keyID 1 at the price of no 
longer decoding frames encrypted with gtk keyid 1.)

3) the AP is using a AC 3168NGW and the STA a AC 8265. The two devices 
are roughly 2m apart with a direct line of sight on a channel with next 
to no other traffic on it. (You see what's there in the Sniff captures, 
these are all totally unfiltered.)

4) I also tried running a trace on the STA. But I could not reproduce 
the issue when a trace was running on the STA. (That's probably 
coincidence, through, I just gave it three tries and the first without a 
trace on the STA worked.)

5) The files in the "broken" folder are showing the issue and the ones 
in "working" (seem) to be ok at a first glance.

I can run more tests and also try catch the problem with a STA trace, 
too, if you want. But that may not be necessary:

It looks like we only have a problem when we get frames with the "new" 
keyID and then again some with the "old" keyID. Of course we also could 
have multiple problems, too... But in that case I would say let's first 
look at this one.
The problematic frames are encrypted with the correct "old" key, 
according to wireshark.

But on the STA they are scrambled and therefor probably have been 
decrypted with the - in this case - wrong new key.

And as it happens there is also a really good looking first suspect why 
this may have happened:
According to the STA captures the broken frames came in one A-MPDU which 
started with keyID 1 and then "appended" the older keyID 0 frames at the 
end. (The OTA sniffer seems to be miss the A-MPDU details, see the STA 
capture...)

Now it really looks like the mvm cards are trusting the standard and 
decode all MPDUs within one A-MPDU with the same key while at the same 
time allow mixing different keyIDs in a-MPDU.

The so far mostly theoretical question how far mac80211 should support 
the driver (e.g. key ID border signal) or if we want to let the 
drivers/card handle that would become much more pressing...

Ideally the card/firmware would be able to detect that and start a new 
A-MPDU. But for my understanding the driver could also set A-MPDU to 
only one frame, forcing the firmware to flush all A-MPDUs under 
construction and then set it back to the normal value. (Or that is how 
I've planned to test that in that way with your tips in the past and 
what's documented of the mvm/dvm firmware API.)

Thanks for the reminder.
I'll definitely will remember the option, I was not aware that there was 
a more private way:-)

So far I can accept the risk - as I understand it - or even some short 
term intruders in my test network.

For my understanding  the previous captures (without the PSK in the 
mail) only allows brute forcing the PSK due to the 4-way handshakes.
Providing a valid handshake allows anyone to crack the PSK, without the 
challenge to capture it himself.

But risk of providing eapol frames of your network changed last year, 
the handshake is no longer required to crack the password. Anyone able 
to talk to the AP can get equivalent information by a simple query. So I 
assume sharing captures with the eapol handshakes is not impacting the 
security of my (test) Wlan in any relevant way. So I'm only giving 
everyone a small peak in my normally encrypted wlan, correct?

Here a link to the vulnerability discovered last year:
https://blog.avira.com/cracking-your-wpa2-wi-fi-password-just-became-easier/

But I've changed the PSK already for my test Wlan again from the ones 
used in the provided captures. The "real" Wlan is using EAP-TLS, the one 
I had the ptk rekey freezes some years ago:-)

Yes, I'm pretty sure the firmware will only be able to look at the whole
A-MPDU and thus must make a decision based on the first subframe
regarding the key.

Yeah, good point. I guess this really would have to be on the
transmitter though.

For similar reasons, I don't think it can do this even on TX.

It's probably getting more complicated with newer versions of the API,
but yes, I guess it should be doable to suspend aggregation.

Just wanted to point it out. I'd agree the risk is minimal since you use
a separate test network anyway.

Honestly I don't like my own patch for the KeyId border signal, too 
complex and not intuitive at all. But I wanted to have some code for 
discussion and then got carried away a bit in what may have been not the 
right direction.

Could we not simply ask (at least) the drivers supporting Extended Key 
IDs to implement a special for the remote STA invisible A-MPDU "stop" mode?
In this new mode each A-MPDU would simply be build out of a single MPDU. 
We then could keep Block-Ack active and we don't have to tell the remote 
STA anything about that decision. After all a A-MPDU with only one MPDU 
is allowed...
We then could tell the driver to switch to this mode when installing the 
new key and out of it again when we have activated the new key for Tx.
That should be perfectly fine to run only in the control path and 
comparable simple to set up, too.

That also sounds like something all drivers supporting A-MPDU should be 
able to pull off somehow. (But then I've never even looked at more than 
ath9k and iwlwifi so far for A-MPDU, and at those not close, yet.)
Do you see any problems with that solution and/or a better idea?

Also would you prefer we first sort out the A-MPDU issue prior I adding 
test cases to the hostapd/wpa_supplicant or the other way round?

Looks like I'll have some time at Easter to (start) looking into one or 
the other.
I'm currently trending to the A-MPDU issue, as it's the more fundamental 
of the two immediate topics. (And the captures are pretty clear, this 
explains so far every corrupted packet captured.)

Alexander

Sounds doable, but I'm still debating if we even should give them a
signal - they have all the information in a sense, and do we have a good
idea of when we can go out of this mode again?

(FWIW, I'd probably call it "suspend" and "resume" or so)

It ought to be possible, or if not then the device just can't support
extended key ID?

> Also would you prefer we first sort out the A-MPDU issue prior I adding

I think adding the code to hostapd/wpa_s is fine - right now we're
obviously OK since we have no drivers using extended key ID that use
hardware crypto, and if we have software crypto there's no problem
either way, even if A-MPDUs are built (which is probably not the case
for any such drivers anyway.)

In a sense I'd prefer getting the necessary bits and pieces elsewhere in
the stack upstream first since that's a prerequisite for anyone
else being able to easily work on this, and that's something we need for
drivers to pick it up.

Handling that on the Tx path would be tricky, but I you are right: 
Drivers should be able to handle that as it is on the control path, too.

They can enable the mode when a key with IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_NO_AUTO_TX 
set and quiet it again as soon as they get a MPDU using the new KeyID.
Since switching back to normal doesn't have to be done immediately a 
asyc call from Tx path or even a worker should do the job just fine.

Btw:
This also means we'll have to update the merged mac80211 Extended Key ID 
support: We can only enable it for cards without HW crypto when they do 
not set AMPDU_AGGREGATION. With the updated userspace these cards will 
start using Extended Key ID with the already merged patches.

Drivers which should be able to use Extended Key ID with the two merged 
patches seem to be:
admtek/adm8211.c
ath/ar5523/ar5523.c
broadcom/b43legacy/main.c
broadcom/brcm80211/brcmsmac/mac80211_if.c
mac80211_hwsim.c
marvell/libertas_tf/main.c
ralink/rt2x00/rt2400pci.c
ralink/rt2x00/rt2500pci.c
realtek/rtl818x/rtl8180/dev.c
realtek/rtl818x/rtl8187/dev.c
zydas/zd1211rw/zd_mac.c

Of those only hwsim and brcmsmac seems to support AMPDU and only 
brcmsmac relly needs the fix to not lose some packets when rekeying.

Agree. Or drivers can decide to deny A-MPDU setup when the key has been 
installed with IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_NO_AUTO_TX when they want.

Ok:-)

I assume we still have to wait till the API is in mainline (probably 
5.2) to ask hostapd/wpa_supplicant to merge the patches?

At the moment I'm planning to get the patches merge ready and posted as 
RFC till 5.2 is out. I'm also planing to keep Extended Key ID for Mesh 
networks till later, so we can focus on AP/STA.

This I agree with.

This isn't true, afaict. You need to be sure that no MPDUs remain using
the old key ID, not just that the new key ID showed up.

I was going to say this is fine, but no, of course not ... we shouldn't
use different key id in the same A-MPDU.

That said, I'd be very surprised if there are any such drivers, except
in corner cases (like loading some drivers like ath9k or iwlwifi with
swcrypto=1 or so)

I can't believe that brcmsmac has no HW crypto support?

Anyway, a patch - even if it serves mostly as documentation - would be
most welcome.

No, mac80211-next is (usually?) good enough.

Hm, you are right. There is no grantee that after the first frame with 
the new keyID all frames after that will also use the new keyID when 
using different priority classes, I assume..
But each TID should have a clean cut over, shouldn't it?

But then that would only help us with cards able to control the A-MPDU 
size per TID...
Short of sending a dummy MPDU to each TID from mac80211 as key border 
and the driver waiting for all of them I can't think of anything right 
now. I really hope we can find something better...

These should be no problem. The drivers still implement set_key and 
mac80211 will not enable Extended Key ID for them. Enabling Extended Key 
ID with SW crypto for drivers implementing set_key is only possible by 
patching either mac80211 or the driver.

Btw:
That was the main use case I added the mac80211 module parameter 
ieee80211_extended_key_id for. But looks like that was of too little use 
and cut out.

I've just greped the drivers, brcmsmac has ampdu_action in its 
implementation of struct ieee80211_ops but no set_key.
So it really looks like SW crypto only to me...

I'll prepare something. Looks really trivial to fix that.
