Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: round IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_HEADROOM up to multiple
|
||||
of 4
|
||||
|
||||
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.
