From e882b8131559c1434b1deb981d65e70d9f2a8853 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2013 17:28:49 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ieee80211: mark 802.11 related structs as being 2-byte aligned Regardless of what header features they use, or if they align the IP header or not, 802.11 packets from all drivers guarantee a 2-byte alignment (and there's a debug WARN_ON in case they don't). Annotate packet structs with __aligned(2) to allow the compiler to use 16-bit load/store operations on platforms with extremely inefficient unaligned access (e.g. MIPS). This reduces code size and improves performance on affected platforms and causes no binary code change on others.
