+ * Locking for IB rings.
+ * We assume that allocation is always protected by a mutex
+ * in the caller (this is a valid assumption for the current
+ * implementation).
+ *
+ * Freeing always happens in an interrupt, and hence only
+ * races with allocations, but not with other free()s.
+ *
+ * The interaction between allocation and freeing is that
+ * the alloc code has to determine the number of free entries.
+ * To this end, we maintain two counters; an allocation counter
+ * and a free counter. Both are allowed to run freely, and wrap
+ * around.
+ * The number of used entries is always (alloc_ctr - free_ctr) % NR.
+ *
+ * The current implementation makes free_ctr atomic. When the
+ * caller finds an allocation fails, it should set an "alloc fail"
+ * bit and retry the allocation. The "alloc fail" bit essentially tells
+ * the CQ completion handlers to wake it up after freeing some
+ * more entries.
