[PATCH 64/76] wifi: mac80211: add a helper to fragment an element

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

The way this works is that you add all the element data,
keeping a pointer to the length field of the element.
Then call this helper function, which will fragment the
element if there was more than 255 bytes in the element,
memmove()ing the data back if needed.
