Ok, right.

Not necessarily. If all the linked descriptors are assigned the same
cookie, we can as well just walk all entries in chain_running and ignore
the ones that don't match the cookie we're looking for,

The problem with your proposed approach is that the driver will
currently dispose desc->tx_list via list_splice_tail_init() once the
transaction has been submitted, so we can't access it later. But what I
have in mind should work equally well. I'll post an updated patch later.


Thanks for the review,
Daniel
