This is the same behavior as it was there before this patch. Previously if scan results triggered an operation, other interfaces wouldn't be updated at all. The patch you mention changed it to update scan results on other interfaces, but still prevents starting any operation. Anyway, in the "if" you mention wpa_s->scan_res_handler != NULL - so it's not an association flow - the association is happening in wpas_select_network_from_last_scan() I'm not sure what do you mean by "multiple association attempts" - concurrent connections on the same radio are serialized using radio_works anyway, and on different radios there is no scan results update from sibling. So, here is the flow when you connect multiple interfaces: the first one will trigger scan and connect + update the siblings. Other sibling interfaces will connect directly without scant through wpa_supplicant_fast_associate().
