Is this really a single-value field, and not a > multiple-option bitfield? It seems that when only the KEY_MGMT_PSK_SHA256 is set, then KEY_MGMT_PSK also works. Likewise, when only KEY_MGMT_SAE is set, then also KEY_MGMT_PSK_SHA256 and KEY_MGMT_PSK work. I gave it a test and also was surprised to see that we only have to set the "most advanced" bit which then includes the "less advanced" features automatically. I could change setting the key_mgmt bits to |= as it feels more natural and raises less eyebrows, but in my testing it didn't make a difference. BTW wpa_supplicant parses the key_mgmt options into a bitfield which is then evaluated elsewhere, so the order the AKM suites are passed to the kernel is always the same, regardless of the order they appear in the config.

Huh, that's interesting. So these KEY_MGMT* flags don't really mean what they say. It might be nice to have some additional commentary in the driver in that case. > I could change setting the key_mgmt bits to |= as it feels more natural > and raises less eyebrows, but in my testing it didn't make a difference. That would make sense to me, but I think that's in conflict with what David Lin said here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/PA4PR04MB9638B7F0F4E49F79057C15FBD1CD2@PA4PR04MB9638.eurprd04.prod.outlook.com/ "Firmware can only support one of WLAN_AKM_SUITE_8021X, WLAN_AKM_SUITE_PSK, or WLAN_AKM_SUITE_SAE." If that's true, then it seems like we need some kind of priority conditions here (e.g., if PSK is provided, but then we see PSK_SHA256, let PSK_SHA256 override -- but not vice versa). That might be pretty ugly though. > BTW wpa_supplicant parses the key_mgmt options into a bitfield which is > then evaluated elsewhere, so the order the AKM suites are passed to the > kernel is always the same, regardless of the order they appear in the > config. I hear you, but that's not really how we define kernel APIs -- by the particular implementation of a single commonly-used user space. Brian

I don't really know how this sentence was meant. It clearly works when both WLAN_AKM_SUITE_PSK and WLAN_AKM_SUITE_SAE are advertised.

I know. I wrote this just as a note that we can't use wpa_supplicant out of the box to actually test how a different order of AKM suites in the array behaves. Sascha

Maybe you can follow the patch for host mlme to add a flag like ''host_mlme_enabled'' to enable this kind of change for specific device. David

I don't love adding new flags for small changes just out of extreme caution. If we find a good reason to, that's an option, but in this case, it feels like the behavior is poorly defined and possibly inconsistent or broken with the current code. Specifically, if anyone was specifying PSK+EAP from user space, we didn't really guarantee behavior. If users were really using that previously and are broken by such a change ... well, we can figure out a way forward by introducing such a flag. Brian
