Thanks for your comments. I think, I would go for your 2nd proposal
because having "Receive buffer overflow error" enabled will indicate the
cause of the poor performance.
Already we have,
tc6->netdev->stats.rx_dropped++;
to increment the rx dropped counter in case of receive buffer overflow.
May be we can remove the print,
net_err_ratelimited("%s: Receive buffer overflow error\n",
tc6->netdev->name);
as it might lead to additional poor performance by adding some delay.
Could you please provide your opinion on this?
