> In the case of S2M queues, the receiver synchronizes with the sender (i.e.
> informs of the packets it has received) using ring->tail.
> Hence, the sender does not need to update last_tail.
>
> In the case of M2S queues, the receiver uses last_tail to keep track of the
> descriptors it has received. The sender is not required to update the last_tail.
> Updating the last_tail makes it a shared variable between the transmitter and
> receiver affecting the performance.
