Subject: [PATCH] rt2x00: do not align payload on modern H/W
|
|
|
|
RT2800 and newer hardware require padding between header and payload if
|
|
header length is not multiple of 4.
|
|
|
|
For historical reasons we also align payload to to 4 bytes boundary, but
|
|
such alignment is not needed on modern H/W.
|
|
|
|
Patch improve performance on embedded CPUs and _possibly_ fixes
|
|
skb_under_panic problems reported from time to time:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1087591
|
|
|
|
But we can not explain or otherwise confirm the patch fixes this panic
|
|
issue for sure.
