Subject: realtek: eth: add new transmit structures
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2d84c5222cbc68bf3a0cf470afb5839115738a09;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fstintel.git

realtek: eth: add new transmit structures

The ethernet driver will get a new transmit function. As a first
step add the required structures and initialize them.

To get an idea: In the future the transmit buffer will hold only
the needed packet header information. The real data is kept in the
SKBs. So only pointers will be changed and memory moving can be
avoided. The SoC will transfer packet data directly from the SKBs.

Additionally a new transmit lock will be established that is
separated from the current driver lock. This is only needed
to guard the "kick-the-engine" command. So contention of the old
global lock can be reduced.
