During Rx flow driver allocates a replacement buffer each time it consumes an Rx buffer. Failing to do so, it would consume the currently processed buffer and re-post it on the ring. As a result, the Rx ring is always completely full [from driver POV]. We now allow the Rx ring to shorten by doing the re-allocations at the end of the NAPI run. The only limitation is that we still want to make sure each time we reallocate that we'd still have sufficient elements in the Rx ring to guarantee that FW would be able to post additional data and trigger an interrupt.

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.
