[PATCH 3/3] ath9k: allocate tx and rx status information on stack

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

 



ath_tx_status and ath_rx_status data are only necessary for a short
time, until they have been processed and converted into mac80211 data
structures.
Because of that, it makes no sense to keep them tied to the DMA
descriptor, that only wastes precious memory.
This patch allocates the data on stack in the functions that call the
conversion functions from ath9k_hw.
