net: export a helper for adding up queue stats

2025-05-08T09:56:12Z

Older drivers and drivers with lower queue counts often have a static array of queues, rather than allocating structs for each queue on demand. Add a helper for adding up qstats from a queue range. Expectation is that driver will pass a queue range [netdev->real_num_*x_queues, MAX). It was tempting to always use num_*x_queues as the end, but virtio seems to clamp its queue count after allocating the netdev. And this way we can trivaly reuse the helper for [0, real_..).

net: report csum_complete via qstats

2025-02-13T00:37:35Z

Commit 13c7c941e729 ("netdev: add qstat for csum complete") reserved the entry for csum complete in the qstats uAPI. Start reporting this value now that we have a driver which needs it.

net: devmem: don't call queue stop / start when the interface is down

2025-02-08T01:21:02Z

We seem to be missing a netif_running() check from the devmem installation path. Starting a queue on a stopped device makes no sense. We still want to be able to allocate the memory, just to test that the device is indeed setting up the page pools in a memory provider compatible way. This is not a bug fix, because existing drivers check if the interface is down as part of the ops. But new drivers shouldn't have to do this, as long as they can correctly alloc/free while down.

net: move HDS config from ethtool state

2025-01-20T19:44:57Z

Separate the HDS config from the ethtool state struct. The HDS config contains just simple parameters, not state. Having it as a separate struct will make it easier to clone / copy and also long term potentially make it per-queue.

mlx5 has a dedicated queue for PTP packets. Clarify that this sort of queues can also be accounted towards the base. Reviewed-by: Joe Damato Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240529162922.3690698-1-kuba@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

netdev: add per-queue statistics

2024-03-08T05:13:25Z

The ethtool-nl family does a good job exposing various protocol related and IEEE/IETF statistics which used to get dumped under ethtool -S, with creative names. Queue stats don't have a netlink API, yet, and remain a lion's share of ethtool -S output for new drivers. Not only is that bad because the names differ driver to driver but it's also bug-prone. Intuitively drivers try to report only the stats for active queues, but querying ethtool stats involves multiple system calls, and the number of stats is read separately from the stats themselves. Worse still when user space asks for values of the stats, it doesn't inform the kernel how big the buffer is. If number of stats increases in the meantime kernel will overflow user buffer. Add a netlink API for dumping queue stats. Queue information is exposed via the netdev-genl family, so add the stats there. Support per-queue and sum-for-device dumps. Latter will be useful when subsequent patches add more interesting common stats than just bytes and packets. The API does not currently distinguish between HW and SW stats. The expectation is that the source of the stats will either not matter much (good packets) or be obvious (skb alloc errors).
