[PATCH 5.10 40/41] gve: Correct ethtool rx_dropped calculation

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

5.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Max Yuan <maxyuan@google.com>

[ Upstream commit c7db85d579a1dccb624235534508c75fbf2dfe46 ]

The gve driver's "rx_dropped" statistic, exposed via `ethtool -S`,
incorrectly includes `rx_buf_alloc_fail` counts. These failures
represent an inability to allocate receive buffers, not true packet
drops where a received packet is discarded. This misrepresentation can
lead to inaccurate diagnostics.

This patch rectifies the ethtool "rx_dropped" calculation. It removes
`rx_buf_alloc_fail` from the total and adds `xdp_tx_errors` and
`xdp_redirect_errors`, which represent legitimate packet drops within
the XDP path.
