The first step toward using NAPI in the UD/TX flow is to separate between two flows, the NAPI and the xmit, meaning no use of shared variables between both flows. This patch takes out the tx_outstanding variable that was used in both flows and instead the driver uses the 2 cyclic ring variables: tx_head and tx_tail, tx_head used in the xmit flow and tx_tail in the NAPI flow.

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.
