From: Mohamed Abbas Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2008 21:16:33 +0000 (-0800) Subject: iwlwifi: earlier rx allocation X-Git-Tag: v2.6.25-rc3~126^2~25^2~12 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d68ab68066805fdfee1f5f29ec2ec0179fd92fe1;p=linux-2.6 iwlwifi: earlier rx allocation Value of count is used to decide when to replenish rx buffers. If it is equal or above 8 we replenish the buffers. Ensure there is no starvation by initializing count to 8 - thus forcing replenish at first iteration. This is helpful when rx receives batches of buffers smaller than 8. Signed-off-by: Mohamed Abbas Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre Signed-off-by: John W.
