From 0c2e384267b815fb784c415a90de7bdd78da0b66 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Koen Vandeputte Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2016 17:28:59 +0100 Subject: mac80211: only alloc mem if a station doesn't exist yet This speeds up the function in case a station already exists by avoiding calling an expensive kzalloc just to free it again after the next check.
