From 5ca42627f3ddc0e4fc3e62d879cc35ab5beaaa8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2009 08:20:42 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: avoid the copy skb->cb on every RX'd skb The skb->cb (control buffer, 48 bytes) is available to the skb upon skb allocation. You can fill it up imediately after skb allocation. ath9k was copying onto the skb->cb the data from the processed skb for mac80211 from a stack struct ieee80211_rx_status structure. This is unnecessary, instead use the skb->cb for the rx status immediately after the skb becomes available and DMA synched. Additionally, avoid the copy of the skb->cb also for virtual wiphys as skb_copy() will copy over the skb->cb for us as well. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez Signed-off-by: John W.
