The peek APIs are new functionality. So the peek APIs in legacy format should be wrappers around _elem_ APIs. That is what I see in the code as well:
rte_ring_peek.h has this:
static __rte_always_inline void
rte_ring_dequeue_finish(struct rte_ring *r, unsigned int n)
{
        rte_ring_dequeue_elem_finish(r, n);
}

I think, I gave you incomplete feedback earlier.
Actually, __rte_ring_st_get_tail and __rte_ring_st_set_head_tail should be in a new file named rte_ring_peek_c11_mem.h. This file should be included in rte_ring_peek.h (same way you have done for RTS and HTS). Then remove both these functions from rte_ring_generic.h and rte_ring_c11_mem.h.
