I'm was playing with V7 on my testlab yesterday and I noticed one
fundamental issue. You are not updating the "ifconfig" stats counters,
when in XDP mode. This makes receive or send via XDP invisible to
sysadm/management tools. This for-sure is going to cause confusion...
I took a closer look at other driver. The ixgbe driver is doing the
right thing. Driver i40e have a bug, where RX/TX stats are swapped
getting (strange!). The mlx5 driver is not updating the regular RX/TX
counters, but A LOT of other ethtool stats counters (which are the ones
I usually monitor when testing).
So, given other drivers also didn't get this right, we need to have a
discussion outside your/this patchset. Thus, I don't want to
stop/stall this patchset, but this is something we need to fixup in a
followup patchset to other drivers as well.
Thus, I'm acking the patchset, but I request that we do a joint effort
of fixing this as followup patches.
