Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix fast_tx header alignment
|
|
|
|
The header field is defined as u8[] but also accessed as struct
|
|
ieee80211_hdr. Enforce an alignment of 2 to prevent unnecessary
|
|
unaligned accesses, which can be very harmful for performance on many
|
|
platforms.
|
|
|
|
Fixes: e495c24731a2 ("mac80211: extend fast-xmit for more ciphers")
