Re: [RFC PATCH] wifi: cfg80211: fix CQM for non-range use

Dear Johannes,

You are probably aware of this already, but I believe this patch is quite crucial as your earlier patch may have effectively broken some roaming scenarios using wpa_supplicant.

The supplicant is using CQM to monitor for RSSI threshold changes (non-ranged) to switch between short (few seconds) and very long (1 *hour* in the default NetworkManager setting) background scan intervals. With a current lts kernel (6.1.63) on Arch I do not see RSSI change events at all and wpa_supplicant will almost never (1 hour timeout) scan for a better AP as long as the current AP is still in range.

I applied your patch against 6.1.63 with some additional `goto unlock`s and it resolves the issue for me. I've been running the kernel for 2 days now.

cheers,
Michael
