Subject: [PATCH net-next] ax88179_178a: avoid copy of tx tcp packets
Date: Thu, 01 Aug 2013 06:49:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1375364992.10515.141.camel@edumazet-glaptop> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1375363300.10515.135.camel@edumazet-glaptop>

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet-hpIqsD4AKlfQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>

ax88179_tx_fixup() has quite complex code trying to push 8 bytes
of control data (len/mss), but fails to do it properly for TCP packets,
incurring an extra copy and point of memory allocation failure.

Lets use the simple and approved way.

dev->needed_headroom being 8, all frames should have 8 bytes of
headroom, so the extra copy should be unlikely anyway.

This patch should improve performance for TCP xmits.
