Really, a shared lock for all of the Rx or Tx rings? This is going to
kill any chance at performance. Especially since just recently the VFs
got support for RSS.
To top it off it also means we cannot clean Tx while adding new buffers
which will kill Tx performance.
The other concern I have is what is supposed to prevent the hardware
from accessing the rings while you are reading? I suspect nothing so I
don't see how this helps anything.
I would honestly say you are better off just giving up on all of the
data stored in the descriptor rings rather than trying to restore them.
Yes you are going to lose a few packets but you don't have the risk
for races that this code introduces.
