In the case of the Tx rings we need to only clear the Tx buffer_info when we are resetting the rings. Ideally we do this when we configure the ring to bring it back up instead of when we are taking it down in order to avoid dirtying pages we don't need to. In addition we don't need to clear the Tx descriptor ring since we will fully repopulate it when we begin transmitting frames and next_to_watch can be cleared to prevent the ring from being cleaned beyond that point instead of needing to touch anything in the Tx descriptor ring. Finally with these changes we can avoid having to reset the skb member of the Tx buffer_info structure in the cleanup path since the skb will always be associated with the first buffer which has next_to_watch set.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
