From 41873e9aff0632d80c74380d58a89e8d420151bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Fri, 30 May 2008 09:49:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tlan: get rid of padding buffer Use skb_padto to pad frames, this avoid allocation of separate buffer just for dma of the extra bytes. Compile tested only.
