    ath9k: avoid the copy skb->cb on every RX'd skb · 5ca42627
    Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
    The skb->cb (control buffer, 48 bytes) is available to the skb
    upon skb allocation. You can fill it up imediately after skb
    allocation. ath9k was copying onto the skb->cb the data from the
    processed skb for mac80211 from a stack struct ieee80211_rx_status
    structure. This is unnecessary, instead use the skb->cb for the
    rx status immediately after the skb becomes available and DMA
    synched.
    
    Additionally, avoid the copy of the skb->cb also for virtual wiphys
    as skb_copy() will copy over the skb->cb for us as well.
