Testing if the ring is empty is as simple as comparing the producer and\nconsumer pointers.\nIn theory, this optimization reduces the number of potential cache misses\nfrom 3 to 2 by not having to read r->mask in rte_ring_count().\n\nIt is not possible to enqueue more elements than the capacity of a ring,\nso the capacity comparison is a safeguard for observer threads only.\nInstead of completely removing the comparison, I have reorganized it to\nresemble the other trigrahps in the ring library and added a likely().\n\nThe modification of these two functions were discussed in the RFC here:\nhttps://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2020-April/165752.html
