mainlining shenanigans
0ccb2c9d05
During the scan requests, the Tx traffic is suspended. This lock is shared by all the network interfaces. So, a scan request on one interface will block the traffic on a second interface. This causes trouble when the queued traffic contains CAB (Content After DTIM Beacon) since this traffic cannot be delayed. It could be possible to make the lock local to each interface. But It would only push the problem further. The device won't be able to send the CAB before the end of the scan. So, this patch just ignore the DTIM indication when a scan is in progress. The firmware will send another indication on the next DTIM and this time the system will be able to send the traffic just behind the beacon. The only drawback of this solution is that the stations connected to the AP will wait for traffic after the DTIM for nothing. But since the case is really rare it is not a big deal.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
