[PATCH 0/3] Enable additional channels for GO

[PATCH 0/3] Enable additional channels for GO

[Ilan Peer]

The FCC are clarifying some soft configuration requirements,
which among other includes the following:

1. Concurrent GO operation, where devices may support WFD in
   bands where an authorized master (for example with DFS and
   DFS and radar detection capability in the UNII band) is operating.
2. Indoor operation, where in bands requiring indoor operation, the
   device must be programmed to detect indoor operation, or
   - Device must be connected to AC Power
   - Device must be under the control of a local master that is acting
     as an AP and is connected to AC Power.

Is WFD WiFi Display? Is there any strict relationship here to WFD and
GO and regulatory or is WFD just a use case example? Are you
indicating that the FCC is making special rules for cases in specific
bands where GO *can* co-exist with other GO devices ?

You annotate that this is somehow related to DFS, are the GO
concurrent rules that the FCC is defining only applicable to DFS
frequency ranges? If so would it suffice to only use DFS flag ? Or are
there other special cases beyond DFS frequency ranges that the FCC is
creating special handling?

Apart from the FCC are you aware of special cases handling for other
regulatory bodies at this point?

Note that we have already these on regdb.h from CRDA:


/*
 * The Linux map defined in <linux/uapi/nl80211.h> enum nl80211_reg_rule_flags
 */
enum reg_rule_flags {
        RRF_NO_OFDM             = 1<<0, /* OFDM modulation not allowed */
        RRF_NO_CCK              = 1<<1, /* CCK modulation not allowed */
        RRF_NO_INDOOR           = 1<<2, /* indoor operation not allowed */
        RRF_NO_OUTDOOR          = 1<<3, /* outdoor operation not allowed */
        RRF_DFS                 = 1<<4, /* DFS support is required to be
                                         * used */
        RRF_PTP_ONLY            = 1<<5, /* this is only for Point To Point
                                         * links */
        RRF_PTMP_ONLY           = 1<<6, /* this is only for Point To Multi
                                         * Point links */
        RRF_PASSIVE_SCAN        = 1<<7, /* passive scan is required */
        RRF_NO_IBSS             = 1<<8, /* IBSS is not allowed */
};

Historically we don't distinguish then a type of 802.11 device that
initiates radiation except for the NO_IBSS rule, but that rule can be
treated more as legacy given that the intent and motivation behind
that was that some ODMs simply preferred an interpretation of
regulatory rules and we *currently* don't use that in much places
other than custom regulatory domains defined in the kernel. The
PTP_ONLY and PTMP_ONLY are example other rules that could potentially
have been used but to this day we haven't found a use case for it
given that typical 802.11 devices are PTMP.

I mention the NO_IBSS case as I'd like to try to avoid adding GO
specific flag if we can figure out a way to make this more generic. At
this point for example I think a more appropriate flag is in place:

  * NO_IR - cannot initiate radiation

And this could in turn end up replacing most use cases of NO_IBSS and
PASSIVE_SCAN givne that both of these imply we cannot initiate
radiation unless specific things are done. I wonder if we can fold the
GO flag into this and perhaps rename the NO_IBSS flag to the GO one.

Also note that we should keep the flags in sync with the uapi nl80211
change. Please review these suggestions and let me know what you
think.

Does anyone  know if the FCC considers "indoor" if we power a device
through the car on AC power through a converter ? Are we willing to
ignore that corner case?

>    - Device must be under the control of a local master that is acting

Interesting, so some APIs would be defined, I take it on hostapd to do
the proper callbacks to 'slave' type of devices that depend on the
local master(s). I could envision this being implemented on hostapd by
expanding the AP interface type and associating 'slave' devices and
callbacks for updates on AP device updates (channel changes, and so
on). Is this work being planned?

OK then I think cullular base station regulatory hints might be
another example. In fact I believe I am looking at the information you
might be using as reference. I am looking at public draft edit for FCC
KDB 594280:

https://apps.fcc.gov/eas/comments/GetPublishedDocument.html?id=327&tn=528122

The original KDB:

http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/ea/presentations/files/apr11/3b.SoftwareConfigurationControl-RDJS.pdf

Specifically in the above document, the draft edit, I am looking at
page 12. That actually references WiFi Direct precisely and considers
the case that a GO may need to move out of its channel if its master
device its using to configure itself also switches channels. Given
that cellular base station hints could also technically be used this
also would need to be considered for cellular base stations. But also
note on page 14 it states clearly:

"Mobile Country Codes (MCC) or Mobile Network Codes
(MNC) are not acceptable for programming host
compliance"

So it seems cellular base station hints are simply not allowed by the
FCC (unless specific approval is requested / revised). Even if the FCC
allowed for it I believe an API would need to be provided should
cellular base stations have a case where they may stop operating as
well similar to DFS.

BTW in future iterations of patches I'd appreciate if you can include
the above references to documentation given that we've pulled them up
now.

OK thanks. Things are clear now that I see the document that you might
be referring to.

The intention here is limit the extend of the cell, and prevent daisy chain scenarios (assume that you allow a soft AP on such a channel and that a client associated to it, and then that device can also start a soft AP on the channel ....). Anyway, I'll need to have another look at this (might be permissible for IBSS ...)

Based on the documentation I reviewed and your proposal it'd seem to
me that we can distinguish GO on the upper layers and determine if a
channel is DFS or not by just the DFS flag. The next hint you'd need
is if the GO got regulatory information from a master somehow, no?
That is I am not seeing a need for a new flag at this point in
wireless-regdb, given also I mentioned another type of case for
regulatory hints technically possible (cellular base station hints but
it seems only allowed with exceptional review by the FCC).

I take it what you want to enable here is GO operation on DFS channels
and use country IEs to determine if you can use GO, but if you do have
GO enabled then you'd want hooks to not daisy chain, ack?

OK thanks for the clarification. I wonder if we can distinguish
between the two in userspace today. I'm happy to start pegging
frequency ranges as indoor-only on wireless-regdb even if we don't
have the userspace APIs to annotate when a device is indoor or not
yet. Patches welcomed then.

This seems reasonable but we need to also consider state machine
changes possible on the channel the GO is on as well and there are
different reasons for the channel to change:

  * beacon hint - nl80211_send_beacon_hint_event()
  * regulatory change - nl80211_send_reg_change_event()

The beacon hint multicast group message sends the channel prior to the
beacon hint and after. The regulatory change event currently isn't as
atomic and only provides the the fact that regulatory domain state
machine has incurred a change. In this case it may make sense to send
all wiphy information and have hostapd verify if a change has occurred
on the channel.

Its still a possibility so it should be handled and we should consider
it on core regulatory. One possible solution might be to not enable GO
unless the the NL80211_ATTR_REG_INITIATOR was something appropriate
for the wiphy.

How do you intend on verifying a device that has associated to an AP,
that that AP is not a mobile device, ie that it fits this "authorized
master" category ?

Makes sense.

This one seems not really related to the other patches. On itself it is 
not clear to me what itch is being scratched here. Is the aim to get rid 
of the CERTIFICATION_ONUS dependency further along the road?

No, it's really just so patch 3 can add a separate option under
CERTIFICATION_ONUS while allowing cell base station and the new option
to be separate.

[PATCH 3/3] [RFC] cfg80211: Enable GO operation on additional channels

[Ilan Peer]

From: David Spinadel <david.spinadel@intel.com>

Allow GO operation on a channel marked with
IEEE80211_CHAN_INDOOR_ONLY or IEEE80211_CHAN_GO_CONCURRENT
iff there is an active station interface that is associated to
an AP operating on this channel.

Note that this is a permissive approach to the FCC definitions,
that require a clear assessment that either the platform device
is an indoor device, or the device operating the AP is an indoor
device, i.e., AC powered.
It is assumed that these restrictions are enforced by user space.
Furthermore, it is assumed, that if the conditions that allowed for
the operation of the GO on such a channel change, it is the
responsibility of user space to evacuate the GO from the channel.

The introduction in 0/3 mentioned DFS, but I did not see it being
addressed in any of the actual changes. Is this only for indoors vs.
outdoors?

Do you have plans or changes to address this? I'd assume wpa_supplicant
could stop the group on channel list changes, but I don't think it does
that currently.

The DFS was mentioned in 0/3 in the context of an example for a case where a device can support WFD on bands where an authorized master is operating. The example assumes that the master has radar detection capabilities and is able to evacuate its operating channel if needed (which must be followed by the device also evicting the WFD operation from this channel). 

The purpose of this patch was to allow the instantiation of a GO on channels marked as indoor/Concurrent GO assuming some conditions are met, ignoring the NO_IBSS and PASSIVE channels. I intend to implement to full restriction logic in the wpa_supplicant (based on the device type etc.), and also handle the actual indication that this channel can no longer be used, eviction and new channel selection in the wpa_supplicant.

Yes. This is currently WIP :)

In the context of strict regulatory data we currently do not
differentiate specifically between a device that can initiate
radiation between AP and Group Owner (GO) but in your earlier patches
you proposed a way to do that. I reviewed feedback on that patch
there. It may make sense however to define clearly what you mean by
why the flag is being introduced by documenting the use case, ie what
you describe here. Other regulatory bodies may follow and it helps to
provide context here.

My review below.

I like this approach, indeed this is great work and reflects usage of
the onus kconfig option appropriately in this case due dilligence
required more in part on userspace / other components for full
regulatory compliance.

#else?

Are you aware of UNII-1, UNII-2, UNII-2E, UNII-3 are specific world
regulatory language bands? When I last tried to look for a clear
definition I could not find a clear definition of them and its why on
the ath module on for QCA modules I state "we call these" in reference
to the UNII nomenclature. If we can get a clear resource for its
definition that would help here.

Ah -- note - FCC, you are making an FCC specific rule global, that
doesn't seems right. The implementation should reflect that *some*
regulatory bodies are implicating software requirements for GO
operation and in that case this tries to implement such known current
interpretations.

Hope is that regulatory bodies will stick to this singular
interpretation / preference when required.

So my point: your code treats this appropriately as agnostic to the
regulatory body but your comments do not, just modify the comments
more to make it more agnostic.

So to do this properly we need an eventual userspace API to throw to
kernelspace if we are AC powered? We'll need this to enhance this
routine here?

Please wrap code as follows:

#ifdef FOO
static int foo(void)
{
  return true;
}
#else
static int foo(void)
  return false;
}
#endif

In the meantime, while you get all your patch sets properly developed
I'd recommend to define the code returning false there strictly or
perhaps for any flag on the channel requiring DFS / no-ibss, or
passive scan. The stricter case, defining false always, seems to be
what you are suggesting here.

Do you have a white list that can exclude some channels for now
globally or somehow as all this lines up?

No no, this is good, its just United States / FCC biased and I hadn't
seen the documentation you provided before. This confirms these are
official terms but still just US / FCC biased. My point was that we
should be careful to not make global statements on regulatory code
about things that are not global. If we know only the FCC calls this
UNII well lets document that and provide the reference you supplied. I
anticipated having to deal with special case regulatory code outside
of of what CRDA / wireless-regdb provides -- given that CRDA /
wireless-regdb were meant to be more RF agnostic anyway.

Given that other vendors may also want to get the UNII band can you
stuff instead cfg80211_get_unii_band() into reg.c and do the #ifdef
properly with the Kconfig, and export it as well, as well as document
it properly providing the reference you mentioned.

The approach I chose with this patch was to only allow to start a GO on such a channel, making the basic verification done above, assuming that the user space component guarantees that all the full restrictions are satisfied.

Fair enough. Seems we just need to zero in now on the requirement or
not on the extra flag you suggested.

It was unclear for what exact channels you needed to deal with here.
Given review so far wouldn't it just be DFS flagged channels on some
UNII bands ? Then again if the indoor flag needs to be pegged to to a
specific UNII band and we can do that on wireless-regdb do we even
need the UNII band check routine helper?
