Subject: [PATCH iwlwifi-fixes 1/3] wifi: iwlwifi: mld: Fix MLO scan timing
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 11:33:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324113316.4c56b8bac533.I6e656d8cc30bb82c96aabadedd62bd67f4c46bf9@changeid> (raw)
From: Pagadala Yesu Anjaneyulu <pagadala.yesu.anjaneyulu@intel.com>
Calculate MLO scan start time based on actual
scan start notification from firmware instead of recording
time when scan command is sent.
Currently, MLO scan start time was captured immediately
after sending the scan command to firmware. However, the
actual scan start time may differ due to the FW being busy
with a previous scan.
In that case, the link selection code will think that the MLO
scan is too old, and will warn.
To fix it, Implement start scan notification handling to
capture the precise moment when firmware begins the scan
operation.
Fixes: 9324731b9985 ("wifi: iwlwifi: mld: avoid selecting bad links")
