Commit Message

Yajun Deng Sept. 19, 2023, 1:55 p.m. UTC
Although there is a kfree_skb_reason() helper function that can be used to
find the reason why this skb is dropped, but most callers didn't increase
one of rx_dropped, tx_dropped, rx_nohandler and rx_otherhost_dropped.

For the users, people are more concerned about why the dropped in ip
is increasing.

Introduce netdev_core_stats_inc() for trace. Also, move dev_core_stats()
and netdev_core_stats_alloc() to dev.c, as they are not called externally.

v5: Access the per cpu pointer before reach the relevant offset.
v4: Introduce netdev_core_stats_inc() instead of export dev_core_stats_*_inc()
v3: __cold should be added to the netdev_core_stats_alloc().
v2: use __cold instead of inline in dev_core_stats().

I'm sorry for the delayed feedback - conference and traveling in the
way.

It looks like the 'inline' keyword above is a left-over of a previous
revision? The compiler should generate the same code even without it,
right? If so, it should be better drop it.

Cheers,

If so, should I merge netdev_core_stats and netdev_core_stats_inc 
together, as it didn't called by others. Like:

void netdev_core_stats_inc(struct net_device *dev, u32 offset)
{
         /* This READ_ONCE() pairs with the write in 
netdev_core_stats_alloc() */
         struct net_device_core_stats __percpu *p = 
READ_ONCE(dev->core_stats);

         if (unlikely(!p))
                 p = netdev_core_stats_alloc(dev);

         if (p)
                 (*(unsigned long *)((void *)this_cpu_ptr(p) + offset))++;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(netdev_core_stats_inc);
