Subject: Reporting firmware stats to ethtool
Date: Thu, 07 Aug 2014 14:57:49 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <53E3F65D.8080102@candelatech.com> (raw)
I'm working on a patch to report the stats seen in debugfs/...ath10k/fw_stats
as ethtool stats, somewhat similar to how ath9k does it.
I notice that my user-space tool is reporting huge numbers because
the stats are reset to zero when firmware restarts, and so my tool
thinks the stats wrapped.
I can fix my tool easily enough, but I first wanted to see if
anyone had strong feelings about keeping the stats from resetting
to zero by storing history and calculating diffs in the driver.
I think my preference is to punt this to user-space, but if
someone feels otherwise, please let me know sooner than later.
Thanks,
Ben
