In a fast disconnect/connect sequence, cfg80211_connect_result() can
fail to find the bss object which the driver is connecting to. Detailed
sequence of events:
* Driver is connected in STA mode
* Disconnect request arrives from user space. Driver disconnects and
calls cfg80211_disconnected() which adds new event to the
cfg80211_wq worker thread
* Connect request arrives from user space. cfg80211_connect() stores
ssid/ssid_len and calls rdev_connect()
* __cfg80211_disconnected() runs in worker thread and zero
wdev->ssid_len
* Connect succeeds. Driver calls cfg80211_connect_result() which fails
to find the bss because wdev->ssid_len is zero
To overcome this, upon connect request, store the bss object in the
driver and upon connect completion pass it to kernel using
cfg80211_connect_bss().

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.
