Figure 3-12 Ring Descriptor Organization

3.13.2.4 Descriptor Lists

Descriptors may also be organized in linked lists using the

link field. The linked list may be terminated by either a

NULL link field, or by using the descriptor OWN bit. A list of

descriptors may represent any number of packets or

packet

fragments.

Care

should

used

when

implementing a linked list terminated by a NULL link as

there is a potential for driver software and the device to get

out of sync. Before clearing a link field when freeing up

descriptors, the driver should verify that the device has

already traversed the link.
