Let's reuse ptr_ring.c in tools/virtio/ringtest. Nothing virt specific there.
It *does* have some virtio specific at the end of ptr_ring.c. It can be argued that the ptr_ring.c in tools/virtio/ringtest could be refactored to remove the function related to virtio.
But as mentioned in the previous disscusion [1], the tools/virtio/ seems to have compile error in the latest kernel, it does not seems right to reuse that. And most of testcase in tools/virtio/ seems better be in tools/virtio/ringtest instead，so until the testcase in tools/virtio/ is compile-error-free and moved to tools/testing/ selftests/, it seems better not to reuse it for now.
That's a great reason to reuse - so tools/virtio/ stays working. Please just fix that.
