Yes, something like this. I think it's worthwhile to re-consider that
approach. If my memory is correct, we haven't spotted the complicated
issues we need to deal with like this patch.

Probably.

Ok. It's probably a hint that something like layer violation happens.
A specific driver should not know details about the ring layout ...

Ok, speak too fast I guess it should be more like:

 if (num > sq->dmainfo.free_num)
