wpa_supplicant keeps a blacklist of BSSs in order to prevent repeated
associations to problematic APs*. Currently, this blacklist is
completely cleared whenever we successfully connect to any AP. This
causes problematic behavior when in the presence of both a bad AP and
a good AP. The device can repeatedly attempt to roam to the bad AP
because it is clearing the blacklist every time it connects to the good
AP. This results in the connection constantly ping-ponging between the
APs, leaving the user stuck without connection.
Instead of clearing the blacklist, implement timeout functionality which
allows association attempts to blacklisted APs after some time has
passed. Each time a BSS would be added to the blacklist, increase the
duration of this timeout exponentially, up to a cap of 1800 seconds.
This means that the device will no longer be able to immediately attempt
to roam back to a bad AP whenever it successfully connects to any other
AP.
Other details:
The algorithm for building up the blacklist count and timeout duration
on a given AP has been designed to be minimally obtrusive. Starting with
a fresh blacklist, the device may attempt to connect to a problematic AP
no more than 6 times in any ~45 minute period. Once an AP has reached a
blacklist count >= 6, the device may attempt to connect to it no more
than once every 30 minutes. The goal of these limits is to find an
ideal balance between minimizing connection attempts to bad APs while
still trying them out occasionally to see if the problems have stopped.
The only exception to the above limits is that the blacklist is still
completely cleared whenever there are no APs available in a scan. This
means that if all nearby APs have been blacklisted, all APs will be
completely exonerated regardless of their blacklist counts or how close
their blacklist entries are to expiring. When all nearby APs have been
blacklisted we know that every nearby AP is in some way problematic.
Once we know that every AP is causing problems, it doesn't really make
sense to sort them beyond that because the blacklist count and timeout
duration don't necessarily reflect the degree to which an AP is
problematic (i.e. they can be manipulated by external factors such as
the user physically moving around). Instead, its best to restart the
blacklist and let the normal roaming algorithm take over to maximize
our chance of getting the best possible connection quality.
As stated above, the time-based blacklisting algorithm is designed to
be minimally obtrusive to user experience, so occasionally restarting
the process is not too impactful on the user.
*problematic AP: rejects new clients, frequently de-auths clients, very
poor connection quality, etc.

It is possible for the hidden OWE BSS to be found based on SSID-specific
scan (e.g., from the special OWE scan mechanism). In that sequence, the
previously used learning of OWE BSS was skipped since the SSID was
already present in the BSS entry. This could result in not being able to
find a matching BSS entry for the OWE BSS in transition mode.

The "unexpected" change of SSID between the current network profile
(which uses the SSID from the open BSS in OWE transition mode) and the
association with the OWE BSS (which uses a random, hidden SSID) resulted
in wpa_supplicant incorrectly determining that this was a
driver-initiated BSS selection ("Driver-initiated BSS selection changed
the SSID to <the random SSID from OWE BSS>" in debug log).
This ended up with updating security parameters based on the network
profile inwpa_supplicant_set_suites() instead of using the already
discovered information from scan results. In particular, this cleared
the RSN supplicant state machine information of AP RSNE and resulted in
having to fetch the scan results for the current BSS when processing
EAPOL-Key msg 3/4.
Fix this by recognizing the special case for OWE transition mode where
the SSID for the associated AP does not actually match the SSID in the
network profile.

This is targeting the case of MAC address change for an association

Previously, this ended up flushing the BSS table that wpa_supplicant

new connection attempt) after an interface goes down.

Currently, wpa_supplicant may roam too aggressively; the need_to_roam()
function will return early with a roaming decision if the difference in
signal level or throughput between the current and selected APs is
"sufficiently large." In particular, if the selected AP's estimated
throughput is more than 5k greater than the current AP's estimated
throughput, wpa_supplicant will decide to roam. Otherwise, if the
selected AP's signal level is less than the current AP's signal level,
or the selected AP's estimated throughput is at least 5k less than the
current AP's estimated throughput, wpa_supplicant will skip the roam.
These decisions are based only on one factor and can lead to poor
roaming choices (e.g., a roam should not happen if the selected AP's
estimated throughput meets the threshold but the current signal and
throughput are already good, whereas a roam should happen if the signal
is slightly worse but the estimated throughput is significantly better).
This change standardizes the roaming heuristic for signal strength
difference requirements and will hopefully improve user experience. The
change can be summarized as follows: based on the current signal level,
a certain roaming difficulty is assigned. Based on the selected AP's
estimated throughput relative to the current AP's estimated throughput,
the difficulty is adjusted up or down. If the difference in signal level
meets the threshold, a roam happens.
The hard-coded values were selected purely based on the previous version
of this function. They may eventually need to be fine-tuned for optimal
performance.

Using average signal strength from the driver and hardcoded noise floor
does not look like an ideal design since there can be significant
differences in the driver-reported noise floor values. Furthermore, even
though the current noise floor is a snapshot from the driver, it is
common for drivers to use a noise floor value from a longer calibration
step and that should not prevent the driver provided value from being
used. This makes the comparisons of the signal strengths between the
current AP (signal_poll) and other APs (scan) more accurate.
As an example, test runs in home environment showed 5 dB difference
between the driver reported noise floor and the hardcoded value and this
could result in significant differences in estimated throughput
calculation.

We saw that on certain platforms in certain places we keep switching
between two APs and eventually get the same RSSI. Debugging showed that
we have a very big difference between the two antennas.
Ant A can hear AP A very well (-60) but AP B very bad (-80)
Ant B can hear AP B very well (-60) but AP A very bad (-80)
When the device associates to AP A, it'll learn to use Ant A. If the
device uses one single antenna to receive the scan results, it may hear
the AP it is currently associated to on the second antenna and get bad
results. Because of that, the wpa_supplicant will roam to the other AP
and the same scenario will repeat itself:
Association to AP A (Ant A reports -60).
Scan on Ant A: AP A: -60, AP B: -80
Scan on Ant B: AP A: -80, AP A: -60 ==> ROAM.
Association to AP B (Ant B reports -60)
Scan on Ant A: AP A: -60, AP B: -80 ==> ROAM
Etc...
Improve this by querying the signal level of the current AP using
drv_signal_poll() instead of relying on the signal level that we get
from the scan results. Also update the throughput estimate based on the
likely more accurate values for the current association.
