Subject: [PATCH 1/3] netdev: Remove improper use of netdev_connect_failed
Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2023 18:05:31 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231115000547.1139157-1-denkenz@gmail.com> (raw)

When a roam event is received, iwd generates a firmware scan request and
notifies its event filter of the ROAMING condition.  In cases where the
firmware scan could not be started successfully, netdev_connect_failed
is invoked.  This is not a correct use of netev_connect_failed since it
doesn't actually disconnect the underlying netdev and the reflected
state becomes de-synchronized from the underlying kernel device.

The firmware scan request could currently fail for two reasons:
  1. nl80211 genl socket is in a bad state, or
  2. the scan context does not exist

Since both reasons are highly unlikely, simply use L_WARN instead.

The other two cases where netdev_connect_failed is used could only occur
if the kernel message is invalid.  The message is ignored in that case
and a warning is printed.

The situation described above also exists in netdev_get_fw_scan_cb. If
the scan could not be completed successfully, there's not much iwd can
do to recover.  Have iwd remain in roaming state and print an error.
