Subject: mac80211: handle failed scan requests in STA mode
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=af88b9078d4aa31d667d2d82601ede9cae3bac37;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git

mac80211: handle failed scan requests in STA mode

If cfg80211 requests a scan it awaits either a return code != 0 from
the scan function or the cfg80211_scan_done to be called. In case of
a STA mac80211's scan function ever returns 0 and queues the scan request.
If ieee80211_sta_work is executed and ieee80211_start_scan fails for
some reason cfg80211_scan_done will never be called but cfg80211 still
thinks the scan was triggered successfully and will refuse any future
scan requests due to drv->scan_req not being cleaned up.

If a scan is triggered from within the MLME a similar problem appears. If
ieee80211_start_scan returns an error, local->scan_req will not be reset
and mac80211 will refuse any future scan requests.

Hence, in both cases call ieee80211_scan_failed (which notifies cfg80211
and resets local->scan_req) if ieee80211_start_scan returns an error.
