Hi all,
I have a question about why we need the txe->next_id field in the i40e&ixgbe Tx function?

Quoted 1 line

From the current implementation, all the txe is initialized and free sequentially,

so we don't need this "next_id" field in our TX function, and when we decide the "last_id" for txe, we assume the txe is sequential. So I suggest deprecate using this next_id field.
Any comments will be welcome!
