Yes, i wraps together with vq->wrap_counter in following code:

Because the update of desc[head].flags (in above case,
prev == head) has been delayed. The flags is saved in
head_flags.

In my design, free_head is just the index of the next
avail desc.
Driver can set anything to buffer ID. And in my design,
I save desc index in buffer ID.
I'll add comments for them.

My thought is to keep the old API as is, and introduce
new types and helpers for packed ring.
More details can be found in this patch:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/23/243
(PS. The type which has bit fields is just for reference,
and will be changed in next version.)
Do you have any other suggestions?
