* Reconcile kernel and user view of the transmit ring.
|
||||
* This routine might be called frequently so it must be efficient.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Userspace has filled tx slots up to ring->cur (excluded).
|
||||
* The last unused slot previously known to the kernel was kring->nkr_hwcur,
|
||||
* and the last interrupt reported kring->nr_hwavail slots available.
|
||||
* ring->cur holds the userspace view of the current ring index. Userspace
|
||||
* has filled the tx slots from the previous call's ring->cur up to but not
|
||||
* including ring->cur for this call. In this function the kernel updates
|
||||
* kring->nr_hwcur to ring->cur, thus slots [kring->nr_hwcur, ring->cur) are
|
||||
* now ready to transmit. At the last interrupt kring->nr_hwavail slots were
|
||||
* available.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* This function runs under lock (acquired from the caller or internally).
|
||||
* It must first update ring->avail to what the kernel knows,
|
||||
* subtract the newly used slots (ring->cur - kring->nkr_hwcur)
|
||||
* from both avail and nr_hwavail, and set ring->nkr_hwcur = ring->cur
|
||||
* subtract the newly used slots (ring->cur - kring->nr_hwcur)
|
||||
* from both avail and nr_hwavail, and set ring->nr_hwcur = ring->cur
|

* issuing a dmamap_sync on all slots.

*
|
||||
* Since ring comes from userspace, its content must be read only once,
