So if you can't use next_to_watch why is it left in here? Also you
might want to take a look at moving desc_num to a different spot in the
buffer as you are leaving a 6 byte hole in the descriptor.

This opens up a race condition. If you have a descriptor ready to be
cleaned at offset 0 what is to prevent you from just running through the
ring? You likely need to find a descriptor number that cannot be valid
to use here.

Where is i being initialized? It was here but you removed it. Are you
using i without initializing it?

So I don't see how this isn't triggering Tx hangs. I suspect for the
simple ping case desc_num will often be 0. The fact is there are many
cases where first and tx_buffer_info are the same descriptor.

You cannot use 0 because 0 is a valid number. You are using it as a
look-ahead currently and there are cases where i is the eop_desc index.

start and i could be the same value. If you look at ixgbevf_tx_map you
should find that if the packet is contained in a single buffer then the
first and last descriptor in your send will be the same one.
