+Subject: [PATCH] ext_password_file: do not use wpa_config_get_line
+To: hostap@lists.infradead.org
+
+The file-based backed of the ext_password framework uses
+`wpa_config_get_line` to read the passwords line-by-line from a file.
+This function is meant to parse a single line from the
+wpa_supplicant.conf file, so it handles whitespace, quotes and other
+characters specially.
+
+Its behavior, however, it's not compatible with the rest of the
+ext_password framework implementation. For example, if a passphrase
+contains a `#` character it must be quoted to prevent parsing the
+remaining characters as an inline comment, but the code handling the
+external password in `wpa_supplicant_get_psk` does not handle quotes.
+The result is that either it will hash the enclosing quotes, producing a
+wrong PSK, or if the passphrase is long enough, fail the length check.
+As a consequence, some passphrases are impossible to input correctly.
+
+To solve this and other issues, this patch changes the behaviour of the
+`ext_password_file_get` function (which was not documented in details,
+at least w.r.t. special characters) to simply treat all characters
+literally: including trailing whitespaces (except CR and LF), `#` for
+inline comments, etc. Empty lines and full-line comments are still
+supported.
