Unlike buf_ring_peek, it only supports single consumer mode, and it
clears the cons_head if DEBUG_BUFRING/INVARIANTS is defined.
The normal use case of drbr_peek for network drivers is:
m = drbr_peek(br);
err = hw_spec_encap(&m); /* could m_defrag/m_collapse */
(*)
if (err) {
if (m == NULL)
drbr_advance(br);
else
drbr_putback(br, m);
/* break the loop */
}
drbr_advance(br);
The race is:
If hw_spec_encap() m_defrag or m_collapse the mbuf, i.e. the old mbuf
was freed, or like the Hyper-V's network driver, that transmission-
done does not even require the TX lock; then on the other CPU at the
(*) time, the freed mbuf could be recycled and being drbr_enqueue even
before the current CPU had the chance to call drbr_{advance,putback}.
This triggers a panic in drbr_enqueue duplicated element check, if
DEBUG_BUFRING/INVARIANTS is defined.
Use buf_ring_peek_clear_sc() in drbr_peek() to fix the above race.
This change is a NO-OP, if neither DEBUG_BUFRING nor INVARIANTS are
defined.
