+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: add TX_NEEDS_ALIGNED4_SKBS hw flag
+
+The driver should set this flag if the hardware requires tx skb data
+(starting with the LLC header) to be aligned to 4 bytes.
+
+Padding is added after ieee80211_hdr, before IV/LLC.
+
+Before this patch, we have to do memmove(hdrlen) twice in the driver:
+Once before we pass this to HW and once again in tx completion
+(to fix up the skb for monitor mode).
+
+With this patch we can skip this memmove() and thus reduce CPU cycles in
+the data path.

-Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: add NEED_ALIGNED4_SKBS hw flag
-
-HW/driver should set NEED_ALIGNED4_SKBS flag in case
-require aligned skbs to four-byte boundaries.
-This affect only TX direction.
-
-Padding is added after ieee80211_hdr, before IV/LLC.
-
-Before we have to do memmove(hdrlen) twice in the
-dirver. Once before we pass this to HW and next
-in tx completion (to be sure monitor will report
-this tx frame correctly).
-
-With this patch we can skip this memmove() and save CPU.
-
-Currently this was tested with ath9k, both hw/sw crypt for
-wep/tkip/ccmp.
