[PATCH v3 05/10] blacklist: add new blacklist reason, ROAM_REQUESTED

James Prestwood <[email protected]>
Newsgroups dev.linux.lists.iwd
Message-ID <[email protected]>
This adds a new (less severe) blacklist reason as well as an option
to configure the timeout. This blacklist reason will be used in cases
where a BSS has requested IWD roam elsewhere. At that time a new
blacklist entry will be added which will be used along with some
other criteria to determine if IWD should connect/roam to that BSS
again.

Now that we have multiple blacklist reasons there may be situations
where a blacklist entry already exists but with a different reason.
This is going to be handled by the reason severity. Since we have
just two reasons we will treat a connection failure as most severe
and a roam requested as less severe. This leaves us with two
possible situations:

1. BSS is roam blacklisted, then gets connection blacklisted:
   The reason will be "promoted" to connection blacklisted.

2. BSS is connection blacklisted, then gets roam blacklisted:
   The blacklist request will be ignored
