[PATCH] mac80211: sequence number micro-optimisation

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

 



There's no need to mask the variable with 0xFFF0
since we ever only use it as a u16 and the lowest
four bits can't ever be non-zero. The compiler
cannot infer the latter, and therefore has to emit
code to do the masking.
