Subject: [PATCH RFC 05/14] drivers: wireless: ar5523: use container_of
Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2015 18:40:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1425318028-26531-6-git-send-email-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1425318028-26531-1-git-send-email-fw@strlen.de>
Compile tested only due to lack of hw.
If we want to shrink skb->cb then we'd have to see about
reducing struct ieee80211_tx_info, which gets embedded inside
skb->cb[].
It provides a scratch space to be used by wireless drivers.
ar5523 uses the maximum space available today (40 bytes), but it seems
we don't need this -- data->skb pointer seems to always point back to the
skb whose cb buffer the data structure resides, iow, given a pointer to the
embedded control buffer we can infer the skb address.
