station: add checks to prevent multiple roam scans
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Under the following conditions IWD can accidentally trigger a second
roam scan while one is already in progress:

 - A low RSSI condition is met. This starts the roam rearm timer.
 - A packet loss condition is met, which triggers a roam scan.
 - The roam rearm timer fires and starts another roam scan while
   also overwriting the first roam scan ID.
 - Then, if IWD gets disconnected the overwritten roam scan gets
   canceled, and the roam state is cleared which NULL's
   station->connected_network.
 - The initial roam scan results then come in with the assumption
   that IWD is still connected which results in a crash trying to
   reference station->connected_network.

This can be fixed by adding a station_cannot_roam check in the rearm
timer. If IWD is already doing a roam scan station->preparing_roam
should be set which will cause it to return true and stop any further
action.
