Subject: [PATCH 1/3] wifi: mt76: Separate skb and page_pool_buf pointers in mt76_txwi_cache
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 15:55:56 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709075558.1654164-2-eason.lai@mediatek.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260709075558.1654164-1-eason.lai@mediatek.com>
From: Eason Lai <Eason.Lai@mediatek.com>
Refactor mt76_txwi_cache structure to use separate skb and page_pool_buf
fields instead of a union with ptr. This improves type safety and makes
the code more explicit about which pointer type is being used in
different contexts.
Also add skip_unmap flag to tx_info.buf to handle cases where DMA
unmapping should be skipped.
