scheduled scan interval

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Johannes, Luca,

The gscan work made me look at scheduled scan and the implementation of
it in brcmfmac. The driver ignored the interval parameter from
user-space. Now I am fixing that. One thing is that our firmware has a
minimum interval which can not be indicated in struct wiphy. The other
issue is how the maximum interval is used in the nl80211.c.

In nl80211_parse_sched_scan_plans() it is used against value passed in
NL80211_ATTR_SCHED_SCAN_INTERVAL and NL80211_SCHED_SCAN_PLAN_INTERVAL.
For the first one it caps the value to the maximum, but for the second
one it returns -EINVAL. I suspect this is done because maximum interval
was introduced with schedule scan plans, but it feels inconsistent.

Thoughts?

Regards,
Arend
