[PATCH] wl12xx: Add support to RX packets payload alignment

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

 



In case of QoS packets the packet payload isn't aligned to
4 bytes. In that case the mac80211 layer take care of that
via memmove() in ieee80211_deliver_skb().
Add support of copy packets from aggregation buffer to the
skbs with packet payload aligned care. In case of QoS packets
copy the packets in offset of 2 bytes guarantee payload aligned
to 4 bytes.
