This is the v2 series prepared by Amitkumar Karwar.
1) TX_ABORT flag is renamed to LOW_PRIORITY to have more generic
approach. Let the drivers decide behaviour for background scan.
2) An extra parameter is added to __cfg80211_bss_expire() to
avoid race condition pointed by Johannes.
Note that "PATCH v2 5/5 mwifiex: use LOW_PRIORITY flag ..."
does not apply to mac80211-next cleanly because some recent
mwifiex patches in wireless-testing have not been pulled yet.
=== original post (v1) by Sam Leffler ===
These add per-scan request controls for optional behaviours we've found
useful (they've been in Chrome OS for a long time). A patch for iw will
follow separately and the mods for wpa_supplicant are in our repo and
I'll push them to Jouni if these are accepted.
