From: Miao-chen Chou <mcchou@xxxxxxxxxxxx> There is a race condition where a start/stop discovery is requested before the previous stop/start discovery finish, and checking the adapter->discovery_list is insufficient to guard to race condition. For example, if start_discovery is called right after stop discovery, the callback, stop_discovery_complete, may not be called before calling start_discovery. Then start_discovery will proceed and fail. Test steps: Add delay in kernel for the stop discovery callback. Check if the start discovery can happen before the completion of the previous stop discovery, and the other way around.
