From 6d3560d4fc9c5b9fe1a07a63926ea70512c69c32 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2009 07:44:08 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix scan abort sanity checks Since sometimes mac80211 queues up a scan request to only act on it later, it must be allowed to (internally) cancel a not-yet-running scan, e.g. when the interface is taken down. This condition was missing since we always checked only the local->scanning variable which isn't yet set in that situation. Reported-by: Luis R.
