Subject: mac80211: reduce calculation costs of EWMA
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ade6d4a2ec57d258bc181a155288c267dd8cf094;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

mac80211: reduce calculation costs of EWMA

This patch reduces the calculation costs of the EWMA macro from
"2x multiplication and 1 addition" down to "1x multiplication and
2x additions". This slightly improves performance depending on the
CPU architecture.
