[v4,00/14] mac80211 encapsulation offload / performance patches

Message

Felix Fietkau Sept. 8, 2020, 12:36 p.m. UTC

v4:
- reorder patches
- instead of disabling offload when tkip or sw crypto is used, fall back
  in the tx handler
- add patch to remove a forward declaration
- remove unnecessary checks for p2p go/client and add a comment instead

v3:
- fix sta pointer and skb info pointer in ieee80211_tx_status_ext skb free patch

v2:
- add cover letter
- fix netdev ops for vlan interfaces
- make multicast traffic fall back to non-offload path to support sw crypto
- use ieee80211_tx_status_ext as replacements for ieee80211_free_txskb
  (the latter does not work with encap offload packets)
  - add api for bulk free after tx status
