From: Yogesh Ashok Powar Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2011 12:04:48 +0000 (+0530) Subject: mwl8k: Reducing extra_tx_headroom for tx optimization in AP mode X-Git-Tag: MMI-PSA29.97-13-9~19291^2~16^2~212 X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ff776cecec92fe7cac4a9ce1919576ad6e737e08;p=GitHub%2FMotorolaMobilityLLC%2Fkernel-slsi.git mwl8k: Reducing extra_tx_headroom for tx optimization in AP mode The tx_headroom required for mwl8k driver is 32 bytes and it can use the space for 802.11 header received from mac80211. mwl8k considers the smallest 802.11 frame (CTS2self of 10 bytes) that can be received from mac80211 to compute the extra_tx_headroom as 22 (32 - 10) bytes. When the wireless interface is part of bridge, this extra_tx_headroom requirement results in a memcpy in mac80211 (in function pskb_expand_head) for all the data frames needing L2 forwarding/bridging, when NET_SKB_PAD is defined as 32. This patch reduces the extra_tx_headroom by 8 bytes so that memcpy of data frames in mac80211 is avoided in this case. The resize will be required in driver for frames with 802.11 header size of less than 18 bytes. Signed-off-by: Yogesh Ashok Powar Signed-off-by: Pradeep Nemavat Signed-off-by: John W.
