Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/2] illustrate cmpxchg ring for tap/tun and qdisc
This is a cmpxchg ring that could potentially be used to replace the spinlock
variant of skb_array.
Couple comments its missing a resize operator which would need to be added
before it could be a drop in replacement. And although I tested the first
patch with my latest set of qdisc updates the second patch I have not tested
for a bit so it may or may not work but it illustrates the idea at least.
This was derived from the DPDK documentation where there is a description
of the cmpxchg ring presumably used there. It may or may not actually align
with what is done in DPDK implementation I have no idea I didn't look.
