From c5c47e67bcd24638a059b1b5e9ec18c95f8634ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Aring Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2014 17:13:30 +0100 Subject: mac802154: rx: use tasklet instead workqueue Tasklets have much less overhead than workqueues. This patch also removes the heap allocation for the worker on receiving path. Like mac80211 we should prefer use a tasklet here instead a workqueue to getting fast out of interrupt context when ieee802154_rx_irqsafe is called by driver. Like wireless inside the tasklet context we should call netif_receive_skb instead netif_rx_ni anymore.
