I am most concerned about that bss_entries_limit=1 option for cfg80211. Do you
still get the warnings logged if you eliminate that one?

Yeah that's probably the reason ...

I guess we should ignore it if it's too low to make any sense.

I also have a question for Johannes, et al. Should the "if (WARN_ON(!oldest))"
in net/wireless/scan.c be a WARN_ON_ONCE()? It does not seem worthwhile to spam
the logs. It is clear that once this happens, it will happen again and again.


Indeed, that seems reasonable. Want to send a patch?

Yes, I will send a patch. I was able to duplicate the OP's warning with "bss_entries_limit=1 and I will be able to test for that warning.
