From 88be026490ed89c2ffead81a52531fbac5507e01 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 7 Apr 2010 00:21:36 -0700 Subject: iwlwifi: fix scan races When an internal scan is started, nothing protects the is_internal_short_scan variable which can cause crashes, cf. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15667. Fix this by making the short scan request use the mutex for locking, which requires making the request go to a work struct so that it can sleep.
