Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: round IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_HEADROOM up to multiple
|
|
of 4
|
|
|
|
This ensures that mac80211 allocated management frames are properly
|
|
aligned, which makes copying them more efficient.
|
|
For instance, mt76 uses iowrite32_copy to copy beacon frames to beacon
|
|
template memory on the chip.
|
|
Misaligned 32-bit accesses cause CPU exceptions on MIPS and should be
|
|
avoided.
