Hi,
What does 'rx_drops_no_pbuf' mean at be2net driver? I can see it is a
hardware counter for some type of error, which I would like to know
about. What causes it?
All documentation I could find about it is a comment referring firmware
specification:
struct be_rxf_stats_v0 {
struct be_port_rxf_stats_v0 port[2];
u32 rx_drops_no_pbuf; /* dword 132*/
...
}
struct be_rxf_stats_v1 {
struct be_port_rxf_stats_v1 port[4];
u32 rsvd0[2];
u32 rx_drops_no_pbuf;
...
}
That, plus this:
be_get_stats64()
{
...
/* receiver fifo overrun */
/* drops_no_pbuf is no per i/f, it's per BE card */
stats->rx_fifo_errors = drvs->rxpp_fifo_overflow_drop +
drvs->rx_input_fifo_overflow_drop +
drvs->rx_drops_no_pbuf;
return stats;
}
Thanks,
Marcelo.
