Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2015 15:25:39 +0100 From: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de> To: linux-wireless@...r.kernel.org Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de> Subject: [PATCH next] drivers: wireless: ar5523: use container_of If we want to shrink skb->cb then we'd have to see about reducing struct ieee80211_tx_info, which gets embedded inside skb->cb[]. It provides a scratch space to be used by wireless drivers. ar5523 uses the maximum space available today (40 bytes), but it seems we don't need this -- data->skb pointer seems to always point back to the skb whose cb buffer the data structure resides, iow, given a pointer to the embedded control buffer we can infer the skb address.
