Subject: mac80211: add support for tx to abort low priority scan requests
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cd2bb512cda58f1efb922ad6dc29013ea5d5d9d0;p=linux-beck.git

mac80211: add support for tx to abort low priority scan requests

Use NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_LOW_PRIORITY flag in mac80211's scan state
machine to prematurely terminate scan operations if outbound
traffic collides. This is useful for marking background scans so
they don't affect throughput.

[set feature flag only if software scan is used]
