So the above code may not work well. Consider the case that driver adds 3 buffer and virtqueue size is 8. a) id = 0,count = 2,next_avail = 2 b) id = 2,count = 4,next_avail = 2next_avail should be 6 here.quoted
c) id = 4,count = 2,next_avail = 0id should be 6 here. Thanksquoted
if packet b is done before packet a, driver may think buffer id 0 is available and try to use it if even if the real buffer 0 was not done. Thanks
Nice catch! Thanks a lot! I'll implement an ID allocator. Best regards, Tiwei Bie
