    iwlwifi: pcie: allocate smaller dev_cmd for TX headers · a89c72ff
    Johannes Berg authored
    As noted in the previous commit, due to the way we allocate the
    dev_cmd headers with 324 byte size, and 4/8 byte alignment, the
    part we use of them (bytes 20..40-68) could still cross a page
    and thus 2^32 boundary.
    
    Address this by using alignment to ensure that the allocation
    cannot cross a page boundary, on hardware that's affected. To
    make that not cause more memory consumption, reduce the size of
    the allocations to the necessary size - we go from 324 bytes in
    each allocation to 60/68 on gen2 depending on family, and ~120
    or so on gen1 (so on gen1 it's a pure reduction in size, since
    we don't need alignment there).
    
    To avoid size and clearing issues, add a new structure that's
    just the header, and use kmem_cache_zalloc().
