[Make-wifi-fast] [PATCH v2] mac80211: Move crypto IV generation to after TXQ dequeue.

Wed Aug 17 10:45:31 EDT 2016


The FQ portion of the intermediate queues will reorder packets, which
means that crypto IV generation needs to happen after dequeue when they
are enabled, or the receiver will throw packets away when receiving
them.

This fixes the performance regression introduced by enabling softq in
ath9k.

Changes since v1:
  - Recalculate pn_offs when needed instead of storing it.
