From ba0ccd7affd777cb90ad7279de4143663ae4d485 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Kazior Date: Mon, 22 Jul 2013 14:25:28 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: improve tx throughput on slow machines It is more efficient to move just the 802.11 header instead of the whole payload in most cases. This has no measurable effect on modern hardware. It should improve performance by a few percent on hardware such as an Access Point that have a slow CPU compared to a typical desktop CPU.
