Scan failure can not be recovered from when running a loop of the following steps: 1. run scan: "iw wlan scan". 2. run command: echo assert > /sys/kernel/debug/ath11k/qca6490\ hw2.0/simulate_fw_crash immediately after step 1. result: scan failed and can not recover even when wlan recovery succeeds: command failed: Device or resource busy (-16) reason: When scan arrives, WMI_START_SCAN_CMDID is sent to the firmware and function ath11k_mac_op_hw_scan() returns, then simulate_fw_crash arrives and the scan started event does not arrive, and then it starts to do recovery of wlan. __ath11k_mac_scan_finish() which is called from ath11k_core_halt() is one step of recovery, it will not call ieee80211_scan_completed() by logic currently because the scan state is ATH11K_SCAN_STARTING. Thus it leads the scan not being completed in mac80211, and leads all consecutive scans failing with -EBUSY in nl80211_trigger_scan even after wlan recovery success. Indicate scan complete with aborted flag to mac80211 for ATH11K_SCAN_STARTING to allow recovery from scan failed with "Device or resource busy (-16)" after wlan recovery.

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.
