[PATCH 3/5] iwlwifi: mvm: don't allow sched scans without matches to be started

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

 



From: Luca Coelho <luciano.coelho@xxxxxxxxx>

The firmware can perform a scheduled scan with not matchsets passed,
but it can't send notification that results were found.  Since the
userspace then cannot know when we got new results and the firmware
wouldn't trigger a wake in case we are sleeping, it's better not to
allow scans without matchsets.

This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110831
