Subject: [PATCH net] net: thunderbolt: Count delivered packets in rx_packets and rx_bytes
Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2026 10:21:52 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260815-tbnet-rx-stats-v1-1-8da375c2cd09@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Fan Ye <fy15309206903@gmail.com>

tbnet_poll() increments rx_packets once per received frame because that is
the NAPI work unit, and then adds the same number to stats.rx_packets. An
skb is handed to the stack only when the last frame of a packet arrives,
so once the MTU exceeds TBNET_MAX_PAYLOAD_SIZE the statistic reports
frames. tx_packets is bumped once per skb, so the two ends of a link
disagree: at MTU 65330 the receiver reports 16 times the packets its
sender sent.

rx_bytes has the matching problem: frames of a packet that is later
dropped mid-assembly are already accounted, so it does not correspond to
rx_packets as documented. Account for both where the packet is completed,
and leave the NAPI work counter alone.

Fixes: e69b6c02b4c3 ("net: Add support for networking over Thunderbolt cable")

Seen at MTU 65330 on an ASM4242 host-to-host link, where a packet is 16
frames. On the receiver rx_bytes/rx_packets came out at 4083.9, i.e.
TBNET_MAX_PAYLOAD_SIZE, and rx_packets ran 15.9x the IP layer's InReceives;
with the patch they are 65308.3 and 0.99. At the default MTU a packet fits
in one frame and the counters already agree, which is why this went
unnoticed.
