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. Signed-off-by: Kevin Lund <kglund@google.com> Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <briannorris@chromium.org> |

wpa_supplicant and hostapd -------------------------- Copyright (c) 2002-2019, Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> and contributors All Rights Reserved. These programs are licensed under the BSD license (the one with advertisement clause removed). If you are submitting changes to the project, please see CONTRIBUTIONS file for more instructions. This package may include either wpa_supplicant, hostapd, or both. See README file respective subdirectories (wpa_supplicant/README or hostapd/README) for more details. Source code files were moved around in v0.6.x releases and compared to earlier releases, the programs are now built by first going to a subdirectory (wpa_supplicant or hostapd) and creating build configuration (.config) and running 'make' there (for Linux/BSD/cygwin builds).
