From f27070158d6754765f2f5fd1617e8e42a0ea2318 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2013 06:49:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ax88179_178a: avoid copy of tx tcp packets ax88179_tx_fixup() has quite complex code trying to push 8 bytes of control data (len/mss), but fails to do it properly for TCP packets, incurring an extra copy and point of memory allocation failure. Lets use the simple and approved way. dev->needed_headroom being 8, all frames should have 8 bytes of headroom, so the extra copy should be unlikely anyway. This patch should improve performance for TCP xmits. Reported-by: Ming Lei Tested-by: Ming Lei Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
