Scan request failures are observed in wpa_supplicant debug log when
Android framework starts PNO scan in driver via ctrl interface command
'set pno 1' and wpa_supplicant also tries to issue a scan request after
PNO has started in the driver.
Some drivers may reject a normal scan request when PNO is already in
progress. wpa_supplicant should consider PNO status before issuing start
scan request to the driver. Otherwise, wpa_supplicant will get failures
from driver for the scan request and it will end up rescheduling scan
request in periodic interval and get a start scan request failure for
each attempt.
In order to avoid unnecessary scan attempt when PNO scan is already
running, PNO status is checked before issuing scan request to driver.

Commit e2f5a9889a was supposed to prevent
new scan request from pushing out the old one. However, it did not
really do that since eloop_deplete_timeout() returned 0 both for the
case where the old timeout existed (and was sooner) and if the old
timeout did not exist. It returned 1 only for the case where an old
timeout did exist and was larger than the new requested value. That case
used to result in wpa_supplicant_req_scan() rescheduling the timeout,
but hew code in eloop_deplete_timeout() did the exact same thing and as
such, did not really change anything apart from the debug log message.
Extend the eloop_deplete_timeout() (and eloop_replenish_timeout() for
that matter since it is very similar) to return three different values
based on whether the timeout existed or not and if yes, whether it was
modified. This allows wpa_supplicant_req_scan() to schedule a new
timeout only in the case there was no old timeout.

If an external program triggers a scan, wpa_supplicant does not have a
wpa_radio work item for this operation to protect against other
offchannel operations. This can result in operations failing, so try to
avoid damage by not starting any new wpa_radio work items during a scan
that was started by another process.

This type of protection against concurrent connection and scan
operations is now enforced through the wpa_radio work mechanism, so this

Avoid concurrent GAS operations with any other exclusive use of the
radio by using the radio work queuing mechanism. This replaces some of

wpa_drv_scan() success case was supposed to clear

If the BSS table within wpa_supplicant is flushed, request the driver to
flush its own scan result table during the next scan. This can avoid
unexpected old BSS entries showing up after BSS_FLUSH or FLUSH command
in cases where the driver may maintain its internal cache of scan
results (e.g., cfg80211 BSS table persists at least for 15 seconds).
In addition to doing this automatically on BSS_FLUSH/FLUSH, a new SCAN
command argument, only_new=1, can be used to request a manual scan
request to do same. Though, it should be noted that this maintains the
BSS table within wpa_supplicant. BSS_FLUSH followed by SCAN command can
be used to clear all BSS entries from both the driver and
wpa_supplicant.

Since the AP is expected to be available, there is no need to wait for
the full five second wait between scans during WPS connection. This

This allows users of wpa_supplicant control interface to figure out when
their specific scan command has been started and completed. For example:
CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-STARTED

3
CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS
CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-STARTED id=3
CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS id=3

This allows external programs to request wpa_supplicant to execute
a passive scan (i.e., do not send any Probe Request frames).

The new freq=<frequency ranges> parameter to the SCAN command can be
used to request a scan to be performed on the specified set of channels
instead of on all channels. For example, "wpa_cli scan
freq=2400-2500,5180" would scan channels 1-14 and 36. Only the channels
that the driver indicates as enabled and that are within the specified
ranges are included in the request.

The BSS table, scan timeout, and related functionality should use
monotonic time since they care about relative values (age) only.
Unfortunately, these are all connected, so the patch can't be split
further. Another problem with this is that it changes the driver wrapper
API. Though, it seems only the test driver is using this.

On scan results event if a concurrent P2P scan was triggered previously,
scan results processing is canceled, p2p_find executed, and a new sta
scan is triggered (pending scan). However, this new sta scan does not
restore the scan_req value of the previous scan (whose scan result has
been canceled).
If we are currently connected to an AP and use ap_scan=2, the new
triggered scan will cause an associtation-without-scan in
wpa_supplicant_scan:
(ap_scan == 2 & scan_req != MANUAL_SCAN_REQ)
=> wpa_supplicant_assoc_try()
causing an association error and a disconnection.
This patch fixes this issue by restoring the previous scan_req value.

Relative time shouldn't be calculated based on gettimeofday
because that clock can jump (e.g., when the time is adjusted
by the system administrator.)
On systems where that is available, use CLOCK_BOOTTIME (on
fairly recent Linux systems, this clock takes into account
the time spend suspended) or CLOCK_MONOTONIC (on Linux and
some POSIX systems, this clock is just freely running with
no adjustments.)

While starting from PNO start context, the scheduled scan was not
setting the flag wpa_s->scanning. This was resulting in the subsequent
SCAN command to proceed further and send command to nl80211/cfg80211.
The expected behavior of cancelling sched_scan was not happening here.
While sched_scan is in progress and a legacy scan comes on the
cli/socket, the sched_scan is cancelled and normal scan is allowed to
continue. However, sometimes sched_scan cancelled event comes a bit
delayed and we will send out the scan command before the wpa_s->scanning
is cleared. Instead, reschedule the incoming scan req if the
wpa_s->scanning shows that it is still in progress.

If a scan is currently running and the scan interval is changed, a
second scan will be started before the current has finished. This will
in turn, if no networks are configured, cause wpa_s->state to be
forced to WPA_INACTIVE before the first scan has finished.

This fixes some P2P-join-a-group cases where GO may have been discovered
based on passive scan or non-P2P scan. P2P IEs may have been received

There are devices that can operate several channels concurrently.
Change shared_vif_oper_freq() to get_shared_radio_freqs() that can

configuration is changing. Many such cases are for testing scripts, but
this could potentially be useful for some WPS use cases, too.

sta_scan_pending was supposed to be accurate enough for determining
whether a P2P scan needs to be postponed. However, it has turned out
that there were cases where sta_scan_pending was not cleared properly.
While the known cases have now been addressed, it is possible that some
other cases may still exist. To avoid issues with P2P operationg getting
stuck, verify more carefully that there is a real pending station mode
scan (either in progress or scheduled to be requested).

There were couple of code paths that could end up stopping station mode
scanning without clearing sta_scan_pending. This could result in P2P
search getting stuck waiting for completion of station mode scan which
would never show up. Fix this by calling wpas_p2p_continue_after_scan()
in cases where station mode scans are stopped. This allows
sta_scan_pending to be cleared and P2P search operation continued.

For various P2P use cases, it is useful to have more accurate timestamp
for the peer information update. This commit improves scan result
handling by using a single timestamp that is taken immediately after
fetching the results from the driver and then using that value to

addition, more debug information is added for P2P peer updates to be
able to clearly see how old information is being used here.

When the scan interval is changed the new interval is effective

If the driver does not support multi-channel concurrency and a virtual
interface that shares the same radio with the current interface is
operating there may not be need to scan other channels apart from the
current operating channel on the other virtual interface. Filter out
other channels in case we are trying to find a connection for a station
interface when we are not configured to prefer station connection and a
concurrent operation is already in process.
