- *
- * - FIFO (First In First Out)
- * - Maximum size is fixed; the pointers are stored in a table.
- * - Lockless implementation.
- * - Multi- or single-consumer dequeue.
- * - Multi- or single-producer enqueue.
- * - Bulk dequeue.
- * - Bulk enqueue.
- *
- * Note: the ring implementation is not preemptable. A lcore must not
