Hi Jouni,

Thanks for your review comments.

Got it. Thanks! I moved this piece of code above
offchannel_pending_listen is to make sure that p2p_long_listen is
updated in
the remain_on_channel_cb context itself and to avoid moving the code
to wpas_p2p_continue_listen_context. So that in case,
p2p_long_listen is accessed in between, it has an updated value
(though it is not done currently).

Sounds good!. You mean offchannel_send_action_tx_status function?
Let me know whether below patch is fine. I have moved the p2p_long_listen
above to make sure that it remains updated even if we return from offchannel_tx
or listen_end. Hope it is fine.
