Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mac80211: minstrels: spare numerous useless calls to get_random_bytes
Date: Fri,  8 Nov 2013 17:34:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1383928473-798-1-git-send-email-karl.beldan@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Karl Beldan <karl.beldan@rivierawaves.com>

These are called to init the sample tables.
This occurs once in minstrel_ht upon its registration (since it uses one
single common sample table for all STAs), and once per sta addition in
minstrel.
