[PATCH] mwifiex: remove redundant dma padding in AMSDU

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Xinming Hu <huxm@xxxxxxxxxxx>

We already ensure 64 bytes alignment and add padding if required
during skb_aggr allocation.

Alignment and padding in mwifiex_11n_form_amsdu_txpd() is redundant.
We may end up accessing more data than allocated size with this.

This patch fixes following issue by removing redundant padding.
