Arend Van Spriel 1b57b6210f cfg80211: make cfg80211_sched_scan_results() work from atomic context
Drivers should be able to call cfg80211_sched_scan_results() from atomic
context. However, with the introduction of multiple scheduled scan feature
this requirement was not taken into account resulting in regression shown
below.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
