Currently these macros are defined to re-initialize a front/back ring (respectively) to values read from the shared ring in such a way that any requests/responses that are added to the shared ring whilst the front/back is detached will be skipped over. This, in general, is not a desirable semantic since most frontend implementations will eventually block waiting for a response which would either never appear or never be processed. Since the macros are currently unused, take this opportunity to re-define them to re-initialize a front/back ring using specified values. This also allows FRONT/BACK_RING_INIT() to be re-defined in terms of FRONT/BACK_RING_ATTACH() using a specified value of 0. NOTE: BACK_RING_ATTACH() will be used directly in a subsequent patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
