[ Upstream commit0431100b3d] Currently we are always setting the tail address of descriptor list to the end of the pre-allocated list. According to databook this is not correct. Tail address should point to the last available descriptor + 1, which means we have to update the tail address everytime we call the xmit function. This should make no impact in older versions of MAC but in newer versions there are some DMA features which allows the IP to fetch descriptors in advance and in a non sequential order so its critical that we set the tail address correctly.

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.
