[PATCH 1/2] mac80211: do not scan and monitor connection in parallel

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

 



Before we send probes in connection monitoring we check if scan is not
pending. But we do that check without locking. Fix that and also do not
start scan if connection monitoring is in progress.

I hope those 2 patches could mitigate some WARNING at rate_control_send_low
so I prefer to have apply them to 3.4.
