Subject: [RFC PATCH 12/17] zd1211rw: batch beacon config commands together
Date: Wed, 05 Jan 2011 01:49:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110104234927.25309.77884.stgit@fate.lan> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110104234745.25309.72030.stgit@fate.lan>
Beacon config function writes beacon to hw one write per byte. This is very
slow (usually taking more than 100ms to finish) and causes high CPU usage
when in AP-mode (kworker at ~50% on Intel Atom N270). By batching commands
together zd_mac_config_beacon() runtime can be lowered to 1/5th and lower
CPU usage to saner levels (<10% on Atom).
