From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

In order to speed up mac80211's TX path, add the "fast-xmit" cache
that will cache the data frame 802.11 header and other data to be
able to build the frame more quickly. This cache is rebuilt when
external triggers imply changes, but a lot of the checks done per
packet today are simplified away to the check for the cache.

There's also a more detailed description in the code.

+ * fast-xmit overview
+ *
+ * The core idea of this fast-xmit is to remove per-packet checks by checking
+ * them out of band. ieee80211_check_fast_xmit() implements the out-of-band
+ * checks that are needed to get the sta->fast_tx pointer assigned, after which
+ * much less work can be done per packet. For example, fragmentation must be
+ * disabled or the fast_tx pointer will not be set. All the conditions are seen
+ * in the code here.
+ *
+ * Once assigned, the fast_tx data structure also caches the per-packet 802.11
+ * header and other data to aid packet processing in ieee80211_xmit_fast().
+ *
+ * The most difficult part of this is that when any of these assumptions
+ * change, an external trigger (i.e. a call to ieee80211_clear_fast_xmit(),
+ * ieee80211_check_fast_xmit() or friends) is required to reset the data,
+ * since the per-packet code no longer checks the conditions. This is reflected
+ * by the calls to these functions throughout the rest of the code, and must be
+ * maintained if any of the TX path checks change.
