Hi Stephen,

Sorry for disturbance...
I am interested in Yukon driver and don't understand why neither
rx_ring nor tx_ring are locked when used?
I mean if the driver supports interrupt model, then ring->to_clean and
ring->to_use should be locked during the updated...

Can you please explaing?

Thanks,
