Subject: [PATCH] iwl4965: better skb management in rx path
Date: Mon, 1 Jul 2013 14:19:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130701121929.GB1747@redhat.com> (raw)
4965 version of Eric patch "iwl3945: better skb management in rx path".
It fixes several problems :
1) skb->truesize is underestimated.
We really consume PAGE_SIZE bytes for a fragment,
not the frame length.
2) 128 bytes of initial headroom is a bit low and forces reallocations.
3) We can avoid consuming a full page for small enough frames.
