[RFC 1/2] ath9k: use ieee80211_free_txskb

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

 



With the new tx status API: "mac80211: implement wifi TX status"
All skb originating from mac80211 needs to be given back to mac80211.

It's high time we change all calls in the tx-path from
dev_kfree_skb into ieee80211_free_txskb.

The call in ath9k_tx is straightforward, but the one in
ath_tx_setup_buffer gives me headaches. I'm not sure if
we even need to check bf->bf_state.bfs_paprd at this
stage since ath_tx_start_dma sets bf->bf_state.bfs_paprd
"after" calling ath_tx_setup_buffer?!

Regards,
	Chr
