[PATCH net-next v7 6/9] xen-netback: Add stat counters for zerocopy

From: Zoltan Kiss <hidden>
Date: 2014-03-06 21:51:27
Also in: lkml, xen-devel
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest, xen network backend driver · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds, Wei Liu, Paul Durrant

These counters help determine how often the buffers had to be copied. Also
they help find out if packets are leaked, as if "sent != success + fail",
there are probably packets never freed up properly.

NOTE: if bisect brought you here, you should apply the series up until
"xen-netback: Timeout packets in RX path", otherwise Windows guests can't work
properly and malicious guests can block other guests by not releasing their sent
packets.
