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.
