[Intel-wired-lan] [RFC Patch 08/12] IXGBEVF: Rework code of finding the end transmit desc of package

Wed Oct 21 16:37:40 UTC 2015


When transmit a package, the end transmit desc of package
indicates whether package is sent already. Current code records
the end desc's pointer in the next_to_watch of struct tx buffer.
This code will be broken if shifting desc ring after migration.
The pointer will be invalid. This patch is to replace recording
pointer with recording the desc number of the package and find
the end decs via the first desc and desc number.
