[PATCH 14/18] iwlwifi: reuse page for notification packets

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

 



From: Zhu Yi <yi.zhu@xxxxxxxxx>

For notification packets and SKBs that fail to rx correctly, add
them back into the rx_free list so that the pages can be reused
later. This avoids allocating new rx pages unnecessarily.
