From ade6d4a2ec57d258bc181a155288c267dd8cf094 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Huehn Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2015 21:09:42 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
