These flags\nwill mark if a descriptor is available or used. To detect new available descriptors\neven after the ring has wrapped, device and driver each have a\nsingle-bit wrap counter that is flipped from 0 to 1 and vice versa every time\nthe last descriptor in the ring is used/made available.\n\nv7->v8:\n * move desc_is_used change to correct patch\n * remove trailing newline\n * correct xmit code, flags update and memory barrier\n * move packed desc init to dedicated function, split\n and packed variant\n\nJens Freimann (8):\n net/virtio: vring init for packed queues\n net/virtio: add packed virtqueue defines\n net/virtio: add packed virtqueue helpers\n net/virtio: dump packed virtqueue data\n net/virtio: implement transmit path for packed queues\n net/virtio: implement receive path for packed queues\n net/virtio: add virtio send command packed queue support\n net/virtio: enable packed virtqueues by default\n\n drivers/net/virtio/virtio_ethdev.c | 154 ++++++--\n drivers/net/virtio/virtio_ethdev.h | 5 +\n drivers/net/virtio/virtio_pci.h | 7 +\n drivers/net/virtio/virtio_ring.h | 110 +++++-\n drivers/net/virtio/virtio_rxtx.c | 545 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++--\n drivers/net/virtio/virtqueue.c | 23 ++\n drivers/net/virtio/virtqueue.h | 42 ++-\n 7 files changed, 832 insertions(+), 54 deletions(-)" }
