From 680a0daba74fed0bf30530c9b3e7e706cf29855f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2015 16:58:25 +0200 Subject: mac80211: allow drivers to support S/G If drivers want to support S/G (really just gather DMA on TX) then we can now easily support this on the fast-xmit path since it just needs to write to the ethernet header (and already has a check for that being possible.) However, disallow this on the regular TX path (which has to handle fragmentation, software crypto, etc.) by calling skb_linearize(). Also allow the related HIGHDMA since that's not interesting to the code in mac80211 at all anyway.
