mac80211: fix scan races and rework scanning
There are some places marked /* XXX maybe racy? */ and they really are racy because there's no locking. This patch reworks much of the scan code, and introduces proper locking for the scan request as well as the internal scanning (which is necessary for IBSS/managed modes). Helper functions are added to call the scanning code whenever necessary. The scan deferring is changed to simply queue the scanning work instead of trying to start the scan in place, the scanning work will then take care of the rest. Also, currently when internal scans are requested for an interface that is trying to associate, we reject such scans. This was not intended, the mlme code has provisions to scan twice when it can't find the BSS to associate with right away; this has never worked properly. Fix this by not rejecting internal scan requests for an interface that is associating. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
