From f7d8ad81ca8c447124821e58f876d1aff996c85f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Karl Beldan Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2013 10:54:19 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: minstrels: spare numerous useless calls to get_random_bytes ATM, only the first array value returned by get_random_bytes is used. This change moves the call to get_random_bytes from the nested loop it is in to its parent. While at it, replace get_random_bytes with prandom_bytes since PRNs are way enough for the selection process. After this, minstrel_ht reclaims 80 PR-bytes instead of 640 R-bytes. minstrels use sample tables to probe different rates in a randomized manner. minstrel_ht inits one single sample table upon registration (during subsys_initcalls) and minstrel uses one per STA addition in minstrel.
