[PATCH 00/11] Initial sched_scan support in wpa_supplicant

[Luciano Coelho]

Hi,

I think this is ready for inclusion now.  I didn't get any comments to
my RFC, so that can only mean tha my approach was ok. ;)

Since my RFC, I've done the following changes:

* Changed max_sched_scan_ssids type from size_t to int
* Added scheduled scan capability flag
* Added filter support
* Check whether scheduled scan is supported before calling it
* Added P2P and WPS extra IEs to the probe requests

Known issues:
-------------

* I have implemented a rather simple algorithm that is used when we
  need to scan for more than the maximum SSIDs supported by the
  driver.  In this case, we need to eventually stop the sched_scan and
  start a new one with the remaining SSIDs.  In this implementation, I
  always start with a timeout of max_sched_scan_ssids * 2 seconds and
  an interval of 2 seconds.  After the timeout, I double the scan
  interval and halve the timeout.  This backing off algorithm is used
  because the SSIDs are supposedly sorted in order of importance, so
  we spend less time and with longer intervals when scanning lower
  priority SSIDs.

  => I think this is good enough for now and can be changed in the
     future if someone comes up with a better algorith.

* We only perform sched_scans when the wpa_supplicant is starting and
  when a connection fails or we disconnect.  We don't perform
  scheduled scans yet when the SSID list is changed, an SSID is
  enabled or on other scan scenarios.  This should be fairly simple to
  add, but I want to maturize the current use-case first.

  => I'll send a patch in the near future to address the other scan
  scenarios.  For now, the most important use-cases are handled and,
  in any case, most of the other scenarios should work indirectly.

Cheers,
Luca.
