Subject: [PATCH v2] mac80211: round IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_HEADROOM up to multiple of 4
Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2018 13:20:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180210122034.88455-1-nbd@nbd.name> (raw)
This ensures that mac80211 allocated management frames are properly
aligned, which makes copying them more efficient.
For instance, mt76 uses iowrite32_copy to copy beacon frames to beacon
template memory on the chip.
Misaligned 32-bit accesses cause CPU exceptions on MIPS and should be
avoided.
