Don't use the last entry. When it is full condition, cur_tx is the last entry. If (fep->cur_tx == fep->dirty_tx) Empty If (fep->cur_tx == fep->dirty_tx - 1) Full Since the patch set introduces tx_stop_threshold and tx_wake_threshold, it never uses the rest of entry while Free entry number is less than tx_stop_threshold.
