From d68ab68066805fdfee1f5f29ec2ec0179fd92fe1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mohamed Abbas Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2008 13:16:33 -0800 Subject: iwlwifi: earlier rx allocation Value of count is used to decide when to replenish rx buffers. If it is equal or above 8 we replenish the buffers. Ensure there is no starvation by initializing count to 8 - thus forcing replenish at first iteration. This is helpful when rx receives batches of buffers smaller than 8. Signed-off-by: Mohamed Abbas Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre Signed-off-by: John W.
