Subject: [patch] e100 statistic value "rx_bytes" error
Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2006 12:17:06 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1150345027.3008.10.camel@L-tech> (raw)

Hi All:
   When I test linux kernel(2.6.9-16), I found that maybe there is a bug
in e100 driver. See function e100_rx_indicate() at line 1847:
	nic->net_stats.rx_bytes += actual_size;
Here, actual_size is the actual size of an ethernent frame sans FCS.And
the e100 driver gets it from skb. Because "rx_bytes" is a statistc value
for a NIC, I think rx_bytes should include the FCS(4 bytes).
The following is the patch for the function in e100.c

diff -ruN old/drivers/net/e100.c new/drivers/net/e100.c
