Subject: [PATCH v4 net 1/8] net: enetc: consistently track dropped frames in enetc_xdp_xmit()
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 13:55:29 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261015105536.1692348-2-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261015105536.1692348-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com>
2 distinct classes of problems:
(a) the following events from enetc_xdp_xmit() will result in the frames
being silently dropped without any counter tracking that action:
- failures in enetc_xdp_frame_to_xdp_tx_swbd(),
- frames split across too many buffers
- frames enqueued while the interface is down
Similar to how enetc_xdp_tx() increments xdp_tx_drops, let's reuse
this ethtool counter for the above cases too.
(b) enetc_xdp_tx() failures increment xdp_tx_drops by 1, but that is not
necessarily correct. Wei Fang points out that on .ndo_xdp_xmit()
failure, bq_xmit_all() drops all remaining frames from the batch,
not just the current one. So we should in any case increment the
xdp_tx_drops counter by the remainder, not just by 1.
A limitation that remains is that the xdp_tx_drops ethtool statistics
counter (already) tracks XDP_TX and XDP_REDIRECT drops in the same
value. We should distinguish between these at some point, but that is an
ABI change and is out of scope for a bug fix.
Fixes: 9d2b68cc108d ("net: enetc: add support for XDP_REDIRECT")

v3->v4:
- make sure the ENETC_TX_DOWN case also increments the xdp_tx_drops
counter
- reword the commit message to enumerate the cases of silently dropped
frames
v2->v3:
- patch is new; replaces:
