[PATCH 2/3] mac80211: get rid of function pointers in RX path

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

 



This changes the RX path to no longer use function pointers for  
RX handlers but rather invoke them directly. If debugging is  
enabled, mark the RX handlers noinline because otherwise they
all get inlined into ieee80211_invoke_rx_handlers() which makes
it harder to see where a bug is.
