+/**
+ * DOC: Lockless queue stopping / waking helpers.
+ *
+ * The netif_txq_maybe_stop() and __netif_txq_completed_wake()
+ * macros are designed to safely implement stopping
+ * and waking netdev queues without full lock protection.
+ *
+ * We assume that there can be no concurrent stop attempts and no concurrent
+ * wake attempts. The try-stop should happen from the xmit handler,
+ * while wake up should be triggered from NAPI poll context.
+ * The two may run concurrently (single producer, single consumer).
+ *
+ * The try-stop side is expected to run from the xmit handler and therefore
+ * it does not reschedule Tx (netif_tx_start_queue() instead of
+ * netif_tx_wake_queue()). Uses of the ``stop`` macros outside of the xmit
+ * handler may lead to xmit queue being enabled but not run.
+ * The waking side does not have similar context restrictions.
+ *
+ * The macros guarantee that rings will not remain stopped if there's
+ * space available, but they do *not* prevent false wake ups when
+ * the ring is full! Drivers should check for ring full at the start
+ * for the xmit handler.
+ *
+ * All descriptor ring indexes (and other relevant shared state) must
+ * be updated before invoking the macros.
