[PATCH v2 0/8] ath10k: performance improvements

[Michal Kazior]

Hi,

These patches aim at reducing host CPU load and
thus improve performance on low-end systems.

In my setup I get a relative improvement of
100mbps for both UDP Tx and Rx.

               Tx ----->
laptop:eth---eth:AP135:ath10k---ath10k:laptop
               <----- Rx


v2:
 * improve comments/commit messages
 * fix 1 unbalanced locking
 * fix var naming (s/err/ret)
 * remove code that didn't belong here
 * split batch tx/rx into 2 patches
   (+ath10k: reduce htt tx/rx spinlock overhead)

Michal Kazior (8):
  ath10k: remove DMA mapping wrappers
  ath10k: remove is_aborted from skb_cb
  ath10k: replace send_head() with tx_sg()
  ath10k: bypass htc for htt tx path
  ath10k: batch htt tx/rx completions
  ath10k: reduce htt tx/rx spinlock overhead
  ath10k: remove pci completion list
  ath10k: minimize coherent dma accesses
