Currently, a single function is used to allocate the rings themselves, initialize them, populate the rx ring, and allocate the rx buffers. The same happens on free. This splits them into separate functions. This will be useful when properly implementing re-initialization on link changes and error handling when the rings will be repopulated but not freed.

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.
