Tethering技术在移动平台上已经运用的越来越广泛了。它能够把移动设备当做一个接入点,其它的设备能够通过Wi-Fi。USB或是Bluetooth等方式连接到此移动设备。在Android中能够将Wifi设为AP模式作为WLAN接入点。从而与其它设备共享Android的互联网连接。Android成为接入点后。就无法通过WLAN连接使用Android的应用程序訪问互联网,但能够通过其它方式如以太网或移动网络訪问互联网。

此时以太网或移动网络在网络共享(Tethering)中是作为upstream的角色。

近期在AtmelSAMA5D3-EK开发板上调试Wifi模块。须要在Android下实现Tethering,通过Wi-Fi的AP模式。将网络连接共享给其他设备。

开发板上一个有线网卡(eth0),一个无线网卡(wlan0)。eth0连接到外网,wlan0作为AP共享给其它设备比方Android手机,使得Android手机能够通过开发板连接到外网。

硬件平台:Atmel SAMA5

软件平台:Linux 3.10 +Android 4.4

Wifi模组:RTL8723AU(USB接口)

由于使用的内核是厂商基于主线内核开发的,尽管主线内核中加入了Android的基本支持,但并不全然。

在做Android移植时,假设发现Android上层的某些功能缺乏内核的支持,能够依据Google维护的AndroidLinux内核将对应的更改应用到厂商Linux内核中,在前文《Android KitKat 4.4平台开发-加入USBADB和MTP功能支持》中就是使用的这样的方法。

整个Wifi移植过程,Wifi模组厂商Realtek给出了具体的过程。但内容仅仅涉及Wifi驱动及Android部分。使用哪个Linux内核以及内核怎样配置须要我们自己决定。

依照Realtek提供的移植文档进行AndroidWifi的移植,在測试Wifi 网络共享功能时出现例如以下问题:

在“设置”程序“网络共享与便携式热点”中,打开“便携式Wi-Fi热点”。并没有真正开启Wifi热点。而是对应单选框不断关开,如此重复。

对于在測试Android功能时出现的异常情况。一般在log中会存在对应的错误信息,尽管并非绝对准确,但调试时应该考虑先分析log信息,尝试从中定位导致异常发生的代码位置。

经过一番分析猜測。例如以下高亮显示的log信息非常有可能是诱发异常发生的关键代码点。

分析这个函数NatController::setTetherCountingRules及log信息,判断出异常发生的原因是运行命令

/system/bin/iptables -A natctrl_tether_counters -i wlan0 -o eth0 -mquota2 --name wlan0_eth0 --grow -j 失败。

并且还涉及到路径/proc/net/xt_quota/,但当前系统下并不存在这个路径。

由此判断应该是内核缺乏与quota2或xt_quota相关的支持。

找到问题的可能原因,接下来就是验证了。比較Android Linux内核、厂商Linux内核以及主线Linux内核网络部分的差异。发现Android Linux内核在主线Linux内核基础上添加了quota2的支持。

netfilter: fixup the quota2, and enable.

The xt_quota2 came from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/xtables-addons/develop

It needed tweaking for it to compile withinthe kernel tree.

Fixed kmalloc() and create_proc_entry()invocations within

a non-interruptible context.

Removed useless copying of current quotaback to the iptable's

struct matchinfo:

- those are per CPU: they will changerandomly based on which

cpu gets to update the value.

- they prevent matching a rule: e.g.

-A chain -m quota2 --name q1 --quota 123

can't be followed by

-D chain -m quota2 --name q1 --quota 123

as the 123 will be compared to the structmatchinfo's quota member.

Use the NETLINK NETLINK_NFLOG family to loga single message

when the quota limit is reached.

It uses the same packet type as ipt_ULOG,but

- never copies skb data,

- uses 112 as the event number (ULOG's +1)

It doesn't log if the module param"event_num" is 0.

netfilter: adding the original quota2 fromxtables-addons

The original xt_quota in the kernel is plainbroken:

- counts quota at a per CPU level

(was written back when ubiquitous SMP wasjust a dream)

- provides no way to count across IPV4/IPV6.

This patch is the original unaltered codefrom:

測试Wifi 络共享功能,之前的异常现象消失,功能測试正常,这说明之前的推导推測是正确的。异常的原因的确是内核缺乏netfilter quota2支持
