Android WiFi 架构总览

本文介绍Android源码项目（AOSP）中WiFi功能的软件架构及各个模块（可执行文件、动态链接库）间的接口。

SDK API

Android SDK为开发者提供了WiFi编程接口，使用起来非常方便。

相关包：
android.net.wifi（写App时只需import该包，即可使用WiFi相关功能)

主要相关类:

  • WifiManager WIFI编程入口，WIFI的多数功能都以该类的方法的形式提供
  • WifiInfo 用于描述WIFI连接的状态
  • ScanResult 用于描述一个AP，如SSID，信号强度，安全方式等

Overview

在这里插入图片描述
WifiManager 是管理所有Wifi连接的基本API，可以通过：
android.content.Context.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE)
得到它的实例。

具体 IPC(Inter-Process communication)

App & system_server(WifiManager & WifiService)

如果说Binder是连接 App 和 system_server 的桥梁，那么WifiManager和WiFiService就是桥梁的两头。

framework代码上和wifi相关的package位于:
frameworks/base/wifi/java (WIFI相关的一些包)
frameworks/base/services/java (各种Service,WIFI相关包为：com.android.server.wifi )

frameworks代码中，和wifi相关的几个类的关系如下：

  • WifiService继承自IWifiManager.Stub；
  • IWifiManager.Stub又继承自Binder，同时实现了IWifiManager接口;
  • WifiManager.Stu.proxy也实现了IWifiManager接口；

如图：
在这里插入图片描述
其中，IWifiManager, IWifiManager.Stub, IWifiManager.Stub.Proxy都由IWifiManger.aidl生成；
aidl自动生成相关的java代码，简化了用Binder实现RPC的过程。
IWifiManager.Stub.Proxy，WifiManager，BinberProxy用于客户端（App进程）；
而IWifiManager.Stub，WifiService，Binder用于服务端（SystemServer进程）。

App 与 system_server 通过Binder通信，但Binder本身只实现了IPC，即类似socket通信的能力。而App端的WifiManager和system_server端的WifiService及Binder等类共同实现了RPC(remote procedure call)。

WifiManager只是系统为app提供的接口。Context.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE)
返回的实际对象类型是IWifiManager.Stub.Proxy。

IWifiManager.Stub.Proxy的实例是位于App端的一个代理，代理象IWifiManager.Stub.Proxy
将WifiManager方法的参数序列化到Parcel，再经Binder发送给system_server进程。

system_server内的WifiService收App传来的WifiManager调用，完成实际工作。
这样，实际和下层通信的工作就由App转移到了system_server进程（WifiService对象）。

WifiStateMachine

另外，可以看到 WifiStateMachine 是wifi功能的枢纽，几种不同模式下的控制流程都经它流下。
当WIFI处在STA模式（或P2P模式）时，通过WifiNative与wpa_supplicant交互。
WifiNative定义了几个Native方法：

    public native static boolean setMaxTxPower(int txpower, boolean sapRunning);

    public native static boolean loadDriver();

    public native static boolean isDriverLoaded();

    public native static boolean unloadDriver();

    public native static boolean startSupplicant(boolean p2pSupported, int firstScanDelay);

    /* Sends a kill signal to supplicant. To be used when we have lost connection or when the supplicant is hung */
    public native static boolean killSupplicant(boolean p2pSupported);

    private native boolean connectToSupplicantNative();

    private native void closeSupplicantConnectionNative();

    /** * Wait for the supplicant to send an event, returning the event string. * @return the event string sent by the supplicant. */
    private native String waitForEventNative();

    private native boolean doBooleanCommandNative(String command);

    private native int doIntCommandNative(String command);

    private native String doStringCommandNative(String command);

当WIFI处在AP模式。通过NetworkManagementService与netd交互，具体是通过LocalSocket(Framework封装的UNIX域socket)与netd进程通信。
比如，NetworkManagementService.startAccessPoint方法：

    @Override
    public void startAccessPoint(
            WifiConfiguration wifiConfig, String wlanIface) {
    
        mContext.enforceCallingOrSelfPermission(CONNECTIVITY_INTERNAL, TAG);
        try {
    
            wifiFirmwareReload(wlanIface, "AP");
            if (wifiConfig == null) {
    
                mConnector.execute("softap", "set", wlanIface); // 向 netd 发送控制命令
            } else {
    
                mConnector.execute("softap", "set", wlanIface, wifiConfig.SSID,
                                   wifiConfig.hiddenSSID ? "hidden" : "broadcast",
                                   "1", getSecurityType(wifiConfig),
                                   new SensitiveArg(wifiConfig.preSharedKey));
            }
            mConnector.execute("softap", "startap");
        } catch (NativeDaemonConnectorException e) {
    
            throw e.rethrowAsParcelableException();
        }
    }

WifiNative

从功能上来说，WifiNative是system_server 和 wpa_supplicant 对话的窗口，实际上主要依靠wpa_supplicant项目编译出来的动态库libwpa_client.so。

WifiNative的几个native方法的具体实现在：
frameworks/base/core/jni/android_net_wifi_WifiNative.cpp

WifiNative的native方法的实现：

static JNINativeMethod gWifiMethods[] = {
    
    /* name, signature, funcPtr */
    {
     "loadDriver", "()Z",  (void *)android_net_wifi_loadDriver },
    {
     "isDriverLoaded", "()Z",  (void *)android_net_wifi_isDriverLoaded },
    {
     "unloadDriver", "()Z",  (void *)android_net_wifi_unloadDriver },
    {
     "startSupplicant", "(ZI)Z",  (void *)android_net_wifi_startSupplicant },
    {
     "killSupplicant", "(Z)Z",  (void *)android_net_wifi_killSupplicant },
    {
     "connectToSupplicantNative", "()Z", (void *)android_net_wifi_connectToSupplicant },
    {
     "closeSupplicantConnectionNative", "()V", (void *)android_net_wifi_closeSupplicantConnection },
    {
     "waitForEventNative", "()Ljava/lang/String;", (void*)android_net_wifi_waitForEvent },
    {
     "doBooleanCommandNative", "(Ljava/lang/String;)Z", (void*)android_net_wifi_doBooleanCommand },
    {
     "doIntCommandNative", "(Ljava/lang/String;)I", (void*)android_net_wifi_doIntCommand },
    {
     "doStringCommandNative", "(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;", (void*) android_net_wifi_doStringCommand },
    {
     "setMaxTxPower", "(IZ)Z",  (void *)android_net_wifi_setMaxTxPower },
};

android_net_wifi_WifiNative.cpp 并没有做多少实际工作，大多是直接调用 wifi.h wifi_maxtxpower.h 定义的函数:
wifi.h 的具体实现在 hardware/libhardware_legacy/wifi/wifi.c (会被编译为 libhardware_legacy.so)
wifi_maxtxpower.h 的具体实现在 hardware/qcom/wlan/libmaxtxpower/wifi_maxtxpower.c (会被编译为 libmaxtxpower.so)
所以native代码依赖libhardware_legacy.so模块、libmaxtxpower.so模块。

WIFI HAL
实现SystemServer与wpa_supplicant(hostapd)通信的，即Wifi HAL。
Wifi HAL封装了UNIX域socket，SystemServer通过UNIX域socket与wpa_supplicant(hostapd)
通信；SystemServer发送的消息和wpa_supplicant响应的消息都是为ASCII字符串。

Wifi HAL代码主要分布在：
hardware/libhardware_legacy/wifi
hardware/qcom/wlan/libmaxtxpower

分别被编译为：
hardware/libhardware_legacy/wifi -> libhardware_legacy.so
hardware/qcom/wlan/libmaxtxpower -> libmaxtxpower.so

wifi.h定义了WIFI HAL的接口，具体函数有：

// 驱动相关:
int wifi_load_driver();
int wifi_unload_driver();
int is_wifi_driver_loaded();

// supplicant相关:
int wifi_start_supplicant(int p2pSupported, int first_scan_delay);
int wifi_stop_supplicant(int p2pSupported);
int wifi_connect_to_supplicant();
void wifi_close_supplicant_connection();

// 等待WIFI事发生，该函数会阻塞当前调用，直到有wifi事件发生时，返回一个表示wifi事件的字符
int wifi_wait_for_event(char *buf, size_t len);

// 向wifi驱动发一个命，（多数功能经该函数向下层发命令）
int wifi_command(const char *command, char *reply, size_t *reply_len);

// 发起一dhcp请求
int do_dhcp_request(int *ipaddr, int *gateway, int *mask,
                   int *dns1, int *dns2, int *server, int *lease);

// 返回一个do_dhcp_request()的错误字符串
const char *get_dhcp_error_string();

#define WIFI_GET_FW_PATH_STA 0
#define WIFI_GET_FW_PATH_AP 1
#define WIFI_GET_FW_PATH_P2P 2

// 返一个请的firmware路径
const char *wifi_get_fw_path(int fw_type);

// 为wlan驱动改变firmware路径
int wifi_change_fw_path(const char *fwpath);

#define WIFI_ENTROPY_FILE "/data/misc/wifi/entropy.bin"

int ensure_entropy_file_exists();

wifi_maxtxpower.h 只定义了一个函数：

int set_max_tx_power(int power, int sap_running);

android_net_wifi_WifiNative.cpp 调用了这些函数。
wifi.c调用了wpa_ctrl.h定义的一些函数，而wpa_ctrl.h中的函数
在external/wpa_supplicant_8 项目实现，并被编译为libwpa_client.so，
详见external/wpa_supplicant_8/Android.mk。

wpa_supplicant(hostapd)

代码位于：
external/wpa_supplicant_8
该项目内包含两个互相相关的开源项目wpa_supplicant和hostapd，它们将会生成两个可执行文件：
wpa_supplicant和hostapd，分别为STA模式和AP模式时的守护进程。

除此之外，还会生成用于测试的wpa_cli，hostapd_cli，
以及WIFI HAL依赖的wpa_client.so，具体可以到Android.mk中找到。

wpa_supplicant源码结构和hostapd类似，下面只介绍wpa_supplicant。

wpa_ctrl.h 定义了与wpa_supplicant(或hostapd)进程通信的接口：

struct wpa_ctrl * wpa_ctrl_open(const char *ctrl_path);

// Close a control interface to wpa_supplicant/hostapd
void wpa_ctrl_close(struct wpa_ctrl *ctrl);

// Send a command to wpa_supplicant/hostapd
int wpa_ctrl_request(struct wpa_ctrl *ctrl, const char *cmd, size_t cmd_len,
             char *reply, size_t *reply_len,
             void (*msg_cb)(char *msg, size_t len));

// Register as an event monitor for the control interface
int wpa_ctrl_attach(struct wpa_ctrl *ctrl);

// Unregister event monitor from the control interface
int wpa_ctrl_detach(struct wpa_ctrl *ctrl);

// Receive a pending control interface message
int wpa_ctrl_recv(struct wpa_ctrl *ctrl, char *reply, size_t *reply_len);

// Check whether there are pending event messages
int wpa_ctrl_pending(struct wpa_ctrl *ctrl);

// Get file descriptor used by the control interface
int wpa_ctrl_get_fd(struct wpa_ctrl *ctrl);

char * wpa_ctrl_get_remote_ifname(struct wpa_ctrl *ctrl);

wpa_ctrl_open 创建一个UNIX域socket 与 wpa_supplicant(或hostapd)进程相连，
wpa_ctrl_close 用于关闭wpa_ctrl_open创建的连接，
wpa_ctrl_request 用于向wpa_supplicant/hostapd发送控制命令，并阻塞，
直到wpa_supplicant/hostapd返回命令响应。控制命令和相应都是ASCII字符串。

wpa_ctrl.h除了声明了这些函数外，还定义了wpa_supplicant/hostapd的一些消息，这里没有详细列出。

源码中wpa_supplicant_global_ctrl_iface_receive
负责分派上层发来的控制命令，进而调用具体处理函数：

 "ATTACH" -> wpa_supplicant_ctrl_iface_attach
 "DETACH" -> wpa_supplicant_ctrl_iface_detach
  else -> wpa_supplicant_global_ctrl_iface_process:
    "IFNAME="(prefix) // 多数控制命令以IFNAME=开头
        -> wpas_global_ctrl_iface_ifname
            -> wpa_supplicant_ctrl_iface_process # "IFNAME="开头的命令的处理
    wpas_global_ctrl_iface_redir 
        -> wpas_global_ctrl_iface_redir_p2p
            -> wpa_supplicant_ctrl_iface_process # "IFNAME="开头的命令的处理
        -> wpas_global_ctrl_iface_redir_wfd
            -> wpa_supplicant_ctrl_iface_process # "IFNAME="开头的命令的处理
    "PING" -> "PONG"
    "INTERFACE_ADD" -> wpa_supplicant_global_iface_add
    "INTERFACE_REMOVE" -> wpa_supplicant_global_iface_remove
    "INTERFACE_LIST" -> wpa_supplicant_global_iface_list
    "INTERFACES" -> wpa_supplicant_global_iface_interfaces
    "TERMINATE" -> wpa_supplicant_terminate_proc
    "SUSPEND" -> wpas_notify_suspend
    "RESUME" -> wpas_notify_resume
    "SET" -> wpas_global_ctrl_iface_set
    "SAVE_CONFIG" -> wpas_global_ctrl_iface_save_config
    "STATUS" -> wpas_global_ctrl_iface_status

该函数在wpa_supplicant目录下的
ctrl_iface_unix.c和ctrl_iface_udp.c内都有实现，可由该目录下的android.config切换
（android.config被Android.mk包含，具体参见Android.mk）

wpa_supplicant与内核通信
wpa_supplicant的运行模型是单进程单线程的 Reactor(IO multiplexing)。wpa_supplicant通过NETLINK socket与内核通信。

wpa_supplicant项目支持多种驱动编程接口，在Android上使用的是nl80211;

nl80211是新的802.11netlink接口公共头，与cfg80211一同组成了Wireless-Extensions的替代方案。
cfg80211是Linux 802.11配置API, nl80211用于配置cfg80211设备，同时用于内核到用户空间的通信。

实际使用nl80211时，只需要在程序中包含头文件

wireless module(in kernel)
代码位于:
kernel/net/wireless
nl80211.c 中的 nl80211_init 使用genl_register_family_with_ops 注册了响应应用程序的
struct genl_ops nl80211_ops[], 该数组定义了响应NETLINK消息的函数。

而 nl80211_init 在 cfg80211_init 内被调用，cfg80211_init是被subsys_initcall注册的
子系统初始化程序，被编译为cfg80211.ko。

nl80211_ops[] 节选：

static struct genl_ops nl80211_ops[] = {
    
    // ...
    {
    
        .cmd = NL80211_CMD_TRIGGER_SCAN,
        .doit = nl80211_trigger_scan,
        .policy = nl80211_policy,
        .flags = GENL_ADMIN_PERM,
        .internal_flags = NL80211_FLAG_NEED_NETDEV_UP |
                  NL80211_FLAG_NEED_RTNL,
    },
    {
    
        .cmd = NL80211_CMD_GET_SCAN,
        .policy = nl80211_policy,
        .dumpit = nl80211_dump_scan,
    },
    {
    
        .cmd = NL80211_CMD_START_SCHED_SCAN,
        .doit = nl80211_start_sched_scan,
        .policy = nl80211_policy,
        .flags = GENL_ADMIN_PERM,
        .internal_flags = NL80211_FLAG_NEED_NETDEV_UP |
                  NL80211_FLAG_NEED_RTNL,
    },
    {
    
        .cmd = NL80211_CMD_STOP_SCHED_SCAN,
        .doit = nl80211_stop_sched_scan,
        .policy = nl80211_policy,
        .flags = GENL_ADMIN_PERM,
        .internal_flags = NL80211_FLAG_NEED_NETDEV_UP |
                  NL80211_FLAG_NEED_RTNL,
    },

    // ...
};
