If sene of the LMAC reset event is asynchronous, You can do this:
1) when LMAC init than set a value to the new add global variabe lmac_life_cycle_id
2) before add tlv to ring, set lmac_life_cycle_id to tlv
3) when LMAC reset event is trigger, increase the value of lmac_life_cycle_id
4) when get the status of tlv in ring(must delay for same period to ensure the real send ring is already send),
check the value lmac_life_cycle_id in tlv, if it smaller than the global one set tlv status to DONE
