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.

Within wpas_connection_failed(), the 'count' value of wpa_blacklist is
erroneously used as a tally of the number times the device has failed
to associate to a given BSSID without making a successful connection.
This is not accurate because there are a variety of ways a BSS can be
added to the blacklist beyond failed association such as interference
or deauthentication. This 'count' is lost whenever the blacklist is
cleared, so the wpa_supplicant stores an additional value
'extra_blacklist_count' which helps persist the 'count' through clears.
These count values are used to determine how long to wait to rescan
after a failed connection attempt.
While this logic was already slightly wrong, it would have been
completely broken by the upcoming change which adds time-based
blacklisting functionality. With the upcoming change, 'count' values
are not cleared on association, and thus do not necessarily even
approximate the "consecutive connection failures" which they were being
used for.
This change seeks to remove this unnecessary overloading of the
blacklist 'count' by directly tracking consecutive connection failures
within the wpa_supplicant struct, independent of the blacklist. This new
'consecutive_conn_failures' is iterated with every connection failure
and cleared when any successful connection is made. This change also
removes the now unused 'extra_blacklist_count' value.

When a PMKSA cache entry is available and used for connection with FILS

even if ERP keys are not available. This scenario may happen when

without PMKSA caching is performed.

The new wpa_supplicant network profile parameter dpp_pfs can be used to
specify how PFS is applied to associations. The default behavior
(dpp_pfs=0) remains same as it was previously, i.e., try to use PFS if
the AP supports it. PFS use can now be required (dpp_pfs=1) or disabled
(dpp_pfs=2).
This is also working around an interoperability issue of DPP R2 STA with
certain hostapd builds that included both OWE and DPP functionality.
That issue was introduced by commit 09368515d1 ("OWE: Process
Diffie-Hellman Parameter element in AP mode") and removed by commit

(dpp_pfs=0) behavior is to automatically try to connect again with PFS
disabled if that happens.

SM Power Save was described in somewhat unclear manner in IEEE Std
802.11n-2009 as far the use of it locally in an AP to save power. That
was clarified in IEEE Std 802.11-2016 to allow only a non-AP STA to use
SMPS while the AP is required to support an associated STA doing so. The
AP itself cannot use SMPS locally and the HT Capability advertisement
for this is not appropriate.

A driver supports FT if it either supports SME or the

wpa_supplicant currently doesn't take into account whether or not either
of those conditions are met. This can cause association failures, e.g.,
when an AP supports both WPA-EAP and FT-EAP but the driver doesn't
support FT (wpa_supplicant will decide to do FT-EAP since it is unaware
the driver doesn't support it). This change allows an FT suite to be
selected only when the driver also supports FT.

Add the new set_key() parameter "key_flag" to provide more specific
description of what type of a key is being configured. This is needed to
be able to add support for "Extended Key ID for Individually Addressed
Frames" from IEEE Std 802.11-2016. In addition, this may be used to
replace the set_tx boolean eventually once all the driver wrappers have
moved to using the new key_flag.
The following flag are defined:
KEY_FLAG_MODIFY
Set when an already installed key must be updated.
So far the only use-case is changing RX/TX status of installed
keys. Must not be set when deleting a key.
KEY_FLAG_DEFAULT
Set when the key is also a default key. Must not be set when
deleting a key. (This is the replacement for set_tx.)
KEY_FLAG_RX
The key is valid for RX. Must not be set when deleting a key.
KEY_FLAG_TX
The key is valid for TX. Must not be set when deleting a key.
KEY_FLAG_GROUP
The key is a broadcast or group key.
KEY_FLAG_PAIRWISE
The key is a pairwise key.
KEY_FLAG_PMK
The key is a Pairwise Master Key (PMK).
Predefined and needed flag combinations so far are:
KEY_FLAG_GROUP_RX_TX
WEP key not used as default key (yet).
KEY_FLAG_GROUP_RX_TX_DEFAULT
Default WEP or WPA-NONE key.
KEY_FLAG_GROUP_RX
GTK key valid for RX only.
KEY_FLAG_GROUP_TX_DEFAULT
GTK key valid for TX only, immediately taking over TX.
KEY_FLAG_PAIRWISE_RX_TX
Pairwise key immediately becoming the active pairwise key.
KEY_FLAG_PAIRWISE_RX
Pairwise key not yet valid for TX. (Only usable with Extended Key ID
support.)
KEY_FLAG_PAIRWISE_RX_TX_MODIFY
Enable TX for a pairwise key installed with KEY_FLAG_PAIRWISE_RX.
KEY_FLAG_RX_TX
Not a valid standalone key type and can only used in combination
with other flags to mark a key for RX/TX.
This commit is not changing any functionality. It just adds the new
key_flag to all hostapd/wpa_supplicant set_key() functions without using
