Subject: net driver error accounting
Date: Thu, 2 Aug 2007 13:17:18 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070802131718.84543097.akpm@linux-foundation.org> (raw)


Looking at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8106

Guys, could we please have a ruling here?

When a net driver encounters a tx_fifo_error, should this also contribute
to the tx_error count, or should it not?

More generally, should netdev drivers accumulate all the detailed
rx_errors into net_device_stats.rx_errors in real time, or should they not?

Thanks.
