[PATCH wpan-next 0/3] IEEE 802.15.4 PAN discovery handling

[PATCH wpan-next 0/3] IEEE 802.15.4 PAN discovery handling

[Miquel Raynal]

Hello,

Last preparation step before the introduction of the scanning feature
(really): generic helpers to handle PAN discovery upon beacon
reception. We need to tell user space about the discoveries.

In all the past, current and future submissions, David and Romuald from
Qorvo are credited in various ways (main author, co-author,
suggested-by) depending of the amount of rework that was involved on
each patch, reflecting as much as possible the open-source guidelines we
follow in the kernel. All this effort is made possible thanks to Qorvo
Inc which is pushing towards a featureful upstream WPAN support.

Cheers,
Miquèl

[PATCH wpan-next 1/3] ieee802154: Advertize coordinators discovery

[Miquel Raynal]

Let's introduce the basics for advertizing discovered PANs and
coordinators, which is:
- A new "scan" netlink message group.
- A couple of netlink command/attribute.
- The main netlink helper to send a netlink message with all the
  necessary information to forward the main information to the user.

Two netlink attributes are proactively added to support future UWB
complex channels, but are not actually used yet.

NEW is something we never saw before and KNOWN we already saw before?
I am not getting that when I just want to maintain a list in the user
space and keep them updated, but I think we had this discussion
already or? Currently they do the same thing, just the command is
different. The user can use it to filter NEW and KNOWN? Still I am not
getting it why there is not just a start ... event, event, event ....
end. and let the user decide if it knows that it's new or old from its
perspective.

Interesting, if you do a scan and discover pans and others answers I
would think you would see only pans on the same preamble. How is this
working?

not against it to have it, it's fine. I just think it is not very
useful. A way to dump all LQI values with some timestamp and having
something in user space to collect stats and do some heuristic may be
better?

ah, okay that answers my previous question... regarding the trace event.

No reason anymore, I've changed this member to be a regular structure.

Actually we already discussed this once and I personally liked more to
handle this in the kernel, but you seem to really prefer letting the
user space device whether or not the beacon is a new one or not, so
I've updated both the kernel side and the userspace side to act like
this.

Yes this is how it is working, you only see PANs on one preamble at a
time. That's why we need to tell on which preamble we received the
beacon.

Actually I really like seeing this in the event logs in userspace, so if
you don't mind I'll keep this parameter. It can safely be ignored by the
userspace anyway, so I guess it does not hurt.

I thought there was some problem about when the "scan-op" is running
and there could be the case that the discovered PANs are twice there,
but this looks more like handling UAPI features as separate new and
old ones? I can see that there can be a need for the first case?

But then I don't know how you want to change the preamble while
scanning? I know there are registers for changing the preamble and I
thought that is a vendor specific option. However I am not an expert
to judge if it's needed or not, but somehow curious how it's working.

NOTE: that the preamble is so far I know (and makes sense for me)
_always_ filtered on PHY side.

I don't think there is a problem handling this on one side or the
other, both should work identically. I've done the change anyway in v2

Just to be sure: here we are talking about reporting the beacons that
were received and the coordinators they advertise. Which means we
_need_ to tell the user on which preamble code it was, but we don't yet
consider any preamble code changes here on the PHY.

I guess this is a problem that we must delegate to the drivers, very
much like channel changes, no?

Yes, I guess so.

but there is my question, how coordinators can advertise they are
running on a different preamble as they sent on the advertisement. And
what I thought was that the preamble is a non changeable thing, more
specifically 4 octet all zero (preamble) followed by 0xA7 (SFD)). I
know there are transceivers to change at least the SFD value, but then
I was assuming you were running out of spec (some people doing that to
ehm... "fake secure" their 802.15.4 communication as I heard).

Well same as a channel change? I don't expect them to constantly
change. But if they do, the next scan will report it.

I have not taken into account advanced/out-of-spec preamble code
handling, for now I consider them to be an integer (very much like the
channels actually).

At least for what I can see, it should be enough.

If this field bothers you for now I can drop the field and
we will later add it at the end of the list. To be fully transparent,
it works only in simulation. I haven't yet tested it on UWB hardware but
this is in the pipe. Let me know what you prefer.

[PATCH wpan-next 2/3] ieee802154: Handle coordinators discovery

[Miquel Raynal]

Let's introduce helpers for giving the MAC layer a generic interface for
advertising discovered coordinators/PANs upon beacon reception. This
support requires the MAC layers to:
- Allocate a coordinator/PAN descriptor and fill it.
- Register this structure, giving the generic ieee802154 layer the
  necessary information about the coordinator/PAN the beacon originates
  from.
- To flush all the allocated structures once the scan is done.

The generic layer keeps a temporary list of the discovered coordinators
to tell the user whether or not the beacon comes from a new device or
not, so stateless userspace applications might not spam the user with
identical information if not required.

semantic is a little bit different, can we use "ieee802154_addr_equal()" here?

No problem, I will.

I guess this will not be the API for the user that there is a PAN
discovered? Is it only for debugging purposes? There will be an
nl802154 event for this? As we discussed previously with additional
commands for start, discovered, etc.?

I am sorry, maybe I can read that somewhere on your previous patch
series, just want to be sure.

Yeah no problem, so yes, as you eventually saw in patch 1/3, the
internal tracing is just here for in-kernel debugging purposes, it's in
no way related to the user interface. It's a 2015 feature, we're just
adding support for tracing the new commands.

Let's discuss the nl user interface in the other thread.

Thanks,
Miquèl
