Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix scan abort sanity checks
Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2009 07:44:08 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1256971448.3555.89.camel@johannes.local> (raw)
Since sometimes mac80211 queues up a scan request
to only act on it later, it must be allowed to
(internally) cancel a not-yet-running scan, e.g.
when the interface is taken down. This condition
was missing since we always checked only the
local->scanning variable which isn't yet set in
that situation.
