Subject: net/mlx5e: Count LRO packets correctly
From: Gal Pressman <galp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 8ab7e2ae15d84ba758b2c8c6f4075722e9bd2a08 ]
RX packets statistics ('rx_packets' counter) used to count LRO packets
as one, even though it contains multiple segments.
This patch will increment the counter by the number of segments, and
align the driver with the behavior of other drivers in the stack.
Note that no information is lost in this patch due to 'rx_lro_packets'
counter existence.
Before, ethtool showed:
$ ethtool -S ens6 | egrep "rx_packets|rx_lro_packets"
rx_packets: 435277
rx_lro_packets: 35847
rx_packets_phy: 1935066
Now, we will see the more logical statistics:
$ ethtool -S ens6 | egrep "rx_packets|rx_lro_packets"
rx_packets: 1935066
rx_lro_packets: 35847
rx_packets_phy: 1935066
