[PATCH 4.4 274/342] mac80211: Requeue work after scan complete for all VIF types.

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Mar 01 2016 - 19:11:07 EST


4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sachin Kulkarni <Sachin.Kulkarni@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4fa11ec726a32ea6dd768dbb2e2af3453a98ec0a upstream.

During a sw scan ieee80211_iface_work ignores work items for all vifs.
However after the scan complete work is requeued only for STA, ADHOC
and MESH iftypes.

This occasionally results in event processing getting delayed/not
processed for iftype AP when it coexists with a STA. This can result
in data halt and eventually disconnection on the AP interface.
